Built in 1954 by Canadair as a CL-13A Sabre 5 for the RCAF, 23367. Seen here at Mojave flying for Tracor Flight Systems Inc. Later bought by Flying Fossils Llc and ferried to Hickory Regional Airport, North Carolina. Painted in colourful USAF markings for the air show circuit. Destroyed in a sadly fatal takeoff accident at Hickory, en route for Oshkosh, on 24 July 2006, when a rejected takeoff led to runway overrun, collision with fixed objects and a deadly fire.

Became a warbird but was destroyed in a takeoff accident at Hickery, North Carolina, on July 24, 2006. Pilot killed.

An ex-R. Canadian AF Sabre. I believe the registration N86FS was subsequently used by a second F-86 of Flight Systems.
