- In Part 2 we continue our examination of The Hangar Flight Museum’s F-86 Sabre, and find out how to build something that is faster than the speed of sound. Museum volunteer Wade continues his ode to the Sabre, taking you through the aircraft’s physical make-up and assembly.
My father was a aircraft mechanic for his career in the Air Force. Starting with the P-80. He told me a few stories about this bird. The radar dome that you pointed out. Reminds of one. They needed that part for one to put it back on line. They wrote up the paperwork along with the part number. A while later when the part came in. It was in a narrow box over 6 foot long. They quickly looked at the part number and it looked like a match. Upon opening the crate inside was a full .5O cal machine gun. Still in the condition that it left the mfg. looking at the number again they found one of the numbers had been out of order. Example 12345. 12354. Also I made the mistake of saying air brakes instead of speed brakes. I was quickly told that “ It’s a airplane not a truck.” Thanks for the video and the memory of Dad .
Lovely looking bird.
this thing is impressive for its age
It goes even faster if you do what the Aussies did and stick an engine with ~30% more thrust in the back of it!
The Avon Sabre was easily the best.
I like the Mig 21 please. So handsome and bad-ass!
I see the Canadian version had a copy of the British centrifugal engine which had more power than the American axial flow engine
Wonder what it would fly like with an F-404 engine in it.
crummy small screen format why not full screen?
USA: We adopted the sweep wings from the Germans.
SU: We made the Mig 15 ourselves. It was all our invention.
Reporter: Come on, the airframe also came from the
Germans.
Are you going to lie about the Rolls Royce
engines? SU: Da(Yes), we stole that design too.
Old Sabre no leading edge slats.
Edit: newer sabre discontinued slats.
You might want to look into that.
Australian Sabres were substantially different (having a more powerful engine, larger intake, and a wider fuselage with more fuel), but the wing slats were actually removed from service.
Not sure if this was the case with F-86 Sabres too.
@@tigerpjm sorry about that I was under the impression the slats were added after the "H" model.

You could be right!
I'm only referring to Australian Sabres which were quite different. I'm not sure whether it was the same with F-86 Sabres.
