Doug Matthews' and his crew at Classic Fighters of America conducted a 10+ minute engine test run of their newly restored North American F-86F-30 Sabre fighter jet (52-5116) on May 3, 2021. It's the culmination of a decade-long effort to get the old Sabre flying again. With today's successful engine ground test run in Central Florida, their first flight test is only weeks away.

It's great that you all are keeping that old Sabre alive. Absolutely fantastic!
Oh....I have seen THE F-86 SABRE in Flight before. Beautiful sight.
Love the red stars on the fuselage.
Wonderful tribute to the Late Capt. Joseph McConnell Jr.
Was NOT expecting that avionics dash when the inside was shown!! Love it
mighty small cockpit i love those f 86 sabers
One of the sexiest Jets ever.
That cockpit looks nice, but its kinda sad that the original is gone
Cool AF!
what art work...
Yeh baby yeh
Looks great! Looking forward to seeing it fly. Great job. Thank you for sharing video.
That old Towmotor (may have a flathead Chrysler in it) is a classic too !!
My favorite fighter plane..
Beautiful
Is that really Joseph McConnell’s aircraft? Right markings.
Always have loved the shape of sheet metal on this one
What, of the tractor?
That and your mother's inner wall
Looks like you have new avionics. Nice!
Seems like it obstructs forward visibility a bit though compared to the old school panel.
This is fun
F-86E with F-16 dashboard? Do you have fly by wire also?
Videos of it flying wanted.
is it the f86 which is smalll or the guy inside who is huge?
Wasn't this the plane in the Lichtenstein image 'Whaam!' ?
great job.
Interesting that the aircraft had internal power for starting; no need for a huffer! I was fortunate to see an F-86 land at NAS Key West while I was cleaning out EA-3B Whale. In 1974, I walked up and chatter with the pilot who was returning it to the Honduran Air Force after the aircraft was overhauled. I got to sit in the cockpit and it is tight! not a whole lot of extra room in it!
It’s very tight for sure 😂 here’s a video from test flights and then we planned an aerial shoot with the Sabre and a rocket launch. Sure wish the Navy would work with me more! This won Aviation Week’s best for 2023 & was national news:

Dam,what a beautiful airplane!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
strange to see that panel on this aircraft :)
Wow no shore power?
..i'd take that to the prom.😍
Where is Bob Lazar when you need him. Think jet car...
What is that worth? 2 million?
This is awesome! Kudos to you guys! My profile pic on FB and LinkedIn is of me sitting in this very plane at Reno in 2012. I'm beyond happy to see it coming back to life. Keep up the good work. I want to see it fly! :)
Sept. 14, 2021-----Reno or Stead airport? Shot one 20+ years ago, but don't remember if it was a former drone or Canadian aircraft.
@@oldbaldfatman2766 My bad....I forgot there was "another" airport at Reno other than where the air races are held. The CAF wing there had this plane, and my friend Doug rebuilt the nose bowl. It was sweet then....but looks a lot better now!
Dies it have an Afterburner?
I'm not sure but I think this F-86 was pre after burner technology.
Saw one of thoze at Suwon AFB, Korea in the 1980s, parked off in a corner of the base... As long as they don't "Hot Dog" it and fly it regular, it should last a long time. Too many vintage birds have been lost by some Idiot pushing to far. Would be cool if they can restore another one
What kind of seat is that?
Power seat with one direction... eject!
