Talk:List of surviving North American F-86 Sabres

Citations needed
I have taken photos of several of the planes that are listed as "Citation needed" in the article. Can I link to a photo as a citation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.97.226.225 (talk) 02:26, 18 July 2019 (UTC)


 * That is an interesting question and I don't know the answer. On one hand it is prima facie evidence.  On the other hand it is Original Research.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 02:49, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Add Sabre in Sidney, BC, Canada
This list if missing a nicely displayed F-86 in Sidney, BC. Here is a photo of the plane:    http://www.panoramio.com/photo/11957438

The notation with the photo says it is a F-86 Mk5. It was built at Canadair in Montreal under license from North American, and in RCAF colours.

List & G-SABR
Another clear and useful list. Thanks. Was thinking it was surprising that there are no active Sabres in the US, but recall a rumour that G-SABR was going home soon. Certainly its registration mark exemption expires 12/12/09, which may be a pointer, or not.TSRL (talk) 20:20, 22 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The list is not complete just a starter, just need some reliable sources. MilborneOne (talk) 20:37, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Aticle has been moved
Just notice an undiscussed move from List of surviving Sabres to List of surviving F-86 Sabres to avoid confusion with swords, just a note that the title was deliberate as most a lot of the surviving aircraft are not F-86s. Raised it at project for some opinions Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aircraft Thanks. . MilborneOne (talk) 11:36, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Added two in South Africa
Added two Sabres that are at Swartkop AFB Prack1 (talk) 13:25, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

F86 Sabre Display in Sarnia, Ontario
Here's a link (http://blackburnnews.com/sarnia/sarnia-news/2015/05/31/rainy-rededication-of-golden-hawk/) to an article covering the re-dedication of Golden Hawks Sabre #23146 from May 31, 2015. I didn't know how to update the "citation needed" entry on the "Surviving Sabres" page, so perhaps someone else can do that.

Flyable
wouldn't be good to indicate which of the planes are flyable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.102.147.254 (talk) 18:38, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * They are the ones that are listed under "airworthy". MilborneOne (talk) 20:27, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

 * What is surprising is that the name of the Pakistan Airforce is not on the list. PAF front line fighter in both the 65 @ 71 wars with India was the F 86. In fact Fighter pilot M M Alam scored 5 sorties in a single day against the Indians.

I've removed it from the article leave it preserved above Lent (talk) 03:17, 10 November 2020 (UTC)



This reference supports the editor's statement of the F86's use in the 1971 war. Lent (talk) 03:17, 10 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Not really relevant, if we dont have any reliable sources for survivors then it will not be on the list. MilborneOne (talk) 11:12, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
