F-86

Now that is a fighter!

The old F-86 is always instantly recognisable with its Sharks mouth air intake..with the pilot sitting astride its back!

A very smooth, slippery, well proportioned aircraft!...

...!

A classic!

I have read many quotes and heard several pilots say the Sabre was the best plane they ever flew. Even for fighter jocks that flew F-14s, F-15s, and F-16s Cool

Heck most Sabre pilots seem to like it over the P-51.

Makes sense though, the Sabre was directly developed from the P-51 Cool

P-51->Fury(straight wing)->Fury (swept)->Sabre

Great shots, JP Cool

The scenery you're referring to is Kauai and Niihau by Rich Sorochak Wink

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"
