The 500th Sabre. The rough writing on the gun cover panel suggests the Life photographer had not been invited to Inglewood to celebrate the milestone number. He was shooting for an article entitled 'Airplane Industry Expansion', probably in response to the outbreak of war in Korea. On the left is serial number 49-1299 (construction number 161-293), wearing its line number 514. The T-28 is also in full production. 49-1285 crashed near the Gunpowder River in Maryland in 1954. The Delaware ANG pilot was killed. Photo by: Edward Clark / Life

New F-86As at the Inglewood factory, now the cargo area at the southeast corner of LAX. The Sabres wear line numbers. 49-1290 is the 283th F-86A in the third production batch and after three XP-86s, 32 in the first batch and 187 in the second, this is indeed the 505th Sabre. The others are 49-1293 / 508, 49-1287 / 502, 49-1300 / 515, 49-1289 / 504, 49-1285 / 500 and 49-1299 / 514. Top right is an early F-86D. Photo by: Edward Clark / Life

The real 49-1236 shot down a MiG-15 over Korea on 17 December 1950 (when operated by 334th FIS), and later was shot down itself by a MiG-15 near Sinanju, North Korea on 24 October 1951. Another fake 49-1236, in exactly the same markings and colours, is preserved in the USAF Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB, Oh. The real identity of the latter aircraft is known (49-1067). The identity of the aircraft in the Seoul War Memorial Museum is not known (afaik).

Originally 47-0606 with the USAF, this Sabre became a chase plane at Edwards Air Force Base, CA for various high-speed rocket-propelled aircraft including the Bell X-1 and Douglas D-558-II Skyrocket. Registered N57965 and with the Museum of Flight, Seattle 1989-1997. Then restored using parts from Canadian-built Sabres. The serial 23175 was chosen because 23 was the prefix on all Mk5 and 6 RCAF Sabres, the 1 recognises 1 Air Division of the RCAF (Europe) and 75 for the 75th anniversary of the RCAF in 1999 when the restoration was completed. The real 23175 was CL-13A Sabre 5 c/n 965.

When Ben Hall found F-86A 49-0178 in a scrapyard, it's engine, most of the cockpit and wing slats were missing. Parts from other wrecks were used to get the aircraft flying again. The replacement wing slats did not fit, so they were modified and fixed closed. A fence, similar to the 6-3 hard wing seen on the later F-86F was also added. Mr. Hall flashes a smile while awaiting his time to perform with the Sabre at the 1983 Abbotsford International Airshow.

When Ben Hall found F-86A 49-0178 in a scrapyard, it's engine, most of the cockpit and wing slats were missing. Parts from other wrecks were used to get the aircraft flying again. The replacement wing slats did not fit, so they were modified and fixed closed. A fence, similar to the 6-3 hard wing seen on the later F-86F was also added. Mr. Hall flashes a smile while awaiting his time to perform with the Sabre at the 1983 Abbotsford International Airshow.
