Taken on strength in 1954, Sabre 23283 was retired to Air Material Development Unit Detachment Mountain View (near Trenton) in 1969. Looking forlorn in this photo, the aircraft would fly again refurbished by Maritime Aircraft Overhaul and Repair Ltd, Moncton NB. Sold to Flight Systems as N2209E in 1970, the aircraft was converted to a QF-86E drone. It wore the RCAF serial (23283) on the fin as a US Army drone (1980 - 84).
