It’s a great airplane. Another tip is that if the red light is on in the front of the cockpit to left of gunsight, you’re pulling too much g and the missile will come off the rail and immediately go stupid
Great hints, thank you! New to the F86, but surprised to see the use of AIM9's on one. Did a little looking and I guess if the period represented is after 1958 then it's actually legit! Found this - "The first combat use of the Sidewinder-1 was a ROC (Taiwan) F-86 Sabre in action against the PRC (China) MiG-17s in 1958 over the Strait of Taiwan."
