| Surviving F-86 Sabres |
|
Sabres Worldwide-I This listing details all known extant F-86 Sabres and derivatives across the globe. However, the relatively mobile state of airworthy F-86/CL-13 aircraft in the United States precludes me from listing those machines here; unless of course, they have ceased flying for any meaningful period. Suffice to say, any additions or corrections would be welcome. |

and his wife rightfully proud to pose for this photo in the centre, and
(right): Suitably wrapped in protective material, in April 2008, the aircraft
was moved to an AMI aircraft depot near Rome. In 2009, once hangar restoration
at the Italian Air Force Museum (at Vigna di Valle, Rome) is complete, the
aircraft will return to the museum for static display. (Giuseppe Versolato)
