Canadair Sabre

[Wayne Henderson]

Hi Hanno, pretty much a static display only, guys who fly old jets have short life spans and expensive parachutes.

The Sabre has been on my list since I saw a few old CAC's back in the 80's and one in Malaysia I enquired about in 1996, North of Johor.

The Canadair Sabre was a later product after the NAA Sabre which was still a very good fighter from what I have read.

As Jacques has stated the Australian CAC version is very different, wider, longer, faster, better guns and most panels are not interchangeable with the F86.

The Canadair Sabre also differs from the NAA F 86 but the panels are interchangeable, wings are kind of the same

The hydraulic system is a nightmare and I need a manual to lock the front wheel in the down position, no safety bolt like the NNA Sabre.

No log books Frank, I believe they may be in New Zealand.

Hi David, This is the radio compartment, the last radio (Fusch?) tray can be seen, ex SAAF.
