F-86 sabres
Military aircraft trading cards - the North American Aviation F-86D Sabre.
"The NACA Test Force
The fleet of NACA test aircraft are assembled in front of the hangar at the High Speed Flight Station, (later renamed the Dryden Flight Research Center) in Edwards, California. The white aircraft in the foreground is a Douglas Aircraft D-558-2 Skyrocket. To its left and right are North American F-86 Sabre chase aircraft. Directly behind the D-558-2 is the P2B-1 Superfortress, (the Navy version of the Air Force B-29). Also known as the 'mothership,' the P2B-1 carried aloft the D-558-2 Skyrocket under its fuselage. Once reaching altitude, the D-558-2 was released from the 'mothership' after which the pilot ignited its onboard rocket engine."

This adventure is set during the Korean War and as the title suggests the plane shown is the North American F-86 Sabre.

Happy 75th Birthday to the iconic North American F-86 Sabre, which first flew on October 1st, 1947. This legendary fighter squared off with the Soviet MiG-15 during the Korean War and is by far the most-produced Western jet fighter ever, with nearly 10,000 units built.
