The Canadair Sabre was a variant of the North American F-86 Sabre built by Canadair under license in Canada. More than 1,800 were produced from 1950-1958 and used primarily by the Royal Canadian Air Force. The Mk. 6’s were based on later versions of the F-86 with larger wings for improved maneuverability while replacing the original General Electric J47 engine with the locally-designed more-powerful Avro Canada Orenda. The Mk. 6, with a more powerful version of the Orenda, is widely considered the best of all Sabres. Nikon D300 w/80-200mm.
