Hi guys, While scanning some Sabre data for Zur, I got these just cause there funny or cool. Check them out.

Since I know ya all like sheep

Damn that car is cool

6 303s 247 rounds a peice. Although some people might consider them weak compared to a 20mm cannon, think of this. A comet towing a target had its canopy damaged and jammed by a stray ricochet off the tow bar. That same bullet had also went through the main spar writing off the wing. Now imagine 6 of those suckers DIRECTLY at you.

The Golden Hawks was a late 50s early 60s Canadian Air Force acrobatic team.


From the book, The Canadair Sabre, by Larry Milberry. Kick ass book for storys and pics of the sabre. Which is where all these pics and the one I upped for Zur are from

"An interesting point was that the F-86 was originally designed with straight wings but informantion returned to the US at the end of World War 2 showed that the Germans had made considrerable progress with swept wing research. As a result, North American decided to adopt the idea and the Sabre fuselage was lengthened approximately five feet and the wings swept back."

I'm not even sure where Marville is either. It might be in europe cause we have squads in Europe as part of Nato.
