Flight of two F-86 Sabre Jets (N86FS)

Oceana NAS, Va

This jet was used 50+ years ago during the Korean War. This is the 2005 Oceanea NAS Airshow. Truly one of the best naval military flying shows I've ever seen! The lead F-86 Sabre was owned and operated by Wyatt Fuller. He was killed while taking off from Hickory Regional Airport July 24, 2006. The aircraft never lifted from the runway, and ran off the end, crashing and catching fire.

Data plate painted on port side of FU-461 states it is a F-86
E Sabre, not a F-86A

Beautiful! Wish we had some more of those over here in Europe!
