2012 Aviation Nation - F-86 Sabre Horseman Demo

[@knightflightvideo]

Wow! This was a very rare flight display indeed. Love the F-86. Thanks for upload! :)

[@vburd62]

absolutely beautiful aircraft. over 60 yrs old and these planes still look modern today.... can you imagine how cocky the pilots flying them in 50's felt?

[@shehlasattar3455]

F86 saber is the icon of historical victory of Pakistan air force against Indian air force in air combats in 1965 war. This plane played a decisive role in getting air superiority

[@DaNomadLad]

shehla sattar The F-86 helped Pakistan airforce achieve air superiority within the first few days of the war. The legend MM-Alam had shot down 11 Indian jets and played a vital role in achieving air superiority against India as he shot down 5 Indian jets in 60 seconds. I have a diecast model of MM-Alam’s F-86 siting on my desk. When ever I look at the kill count on the jet (11 Indian flags), it instills unmatched pride going through my body.

[@jcavilia1]

Vince, I can imagine, and even remember. My father was flying the f-86 in the late 50s with the Air Guard. He flew a number of jets during his career, and loved them all in different ways, but I'm certain he thought there was none more beautiful than the sabre.

[@EthanA1122]

Amazing Photography!!! Jets are so hard and I kept thinking, "who is this guy?" Then when the first Sabre was landing and the fuel truck drove past , blocked the Jet and you kept right on the plane when the truck got past I thought, ..."come on...you've got to be kidding...who is this guy?" I am putting this footage as the best that I have ever seen from an airshow demonstration. No kidding! I don't know if I went into a vision state or what but It's hard to wrap your mind around the exponential jump in design and efficiency from the F-80 Shooting Star. The P-51 (F-51) Mustang was still being used by National Guard Units up until 1955-56! Now consider that The F-86 entered service with the USAF in 1949 and was the primary fighter in the Korean War!

[@Blondi46]

When aircraft reached their peak form. God, what a gorgeous plane.

[@DaNomadLad]

An absolute beast it was, back in the days. My grand father used to be an F-86 pilot in the Pakistani airforce. He has shared many majestic stories about his sorties on this bad boy. I admire this bird everyday, siting on my desk it shimmers with glory as I open the blinds in the morning.

[@Spherian7]

Mind-blowing!! Awesome camera work - smooth as silk.

[@andrewlabat9963]

What a fantastic little jet fighter. It's the panicle of cool.. So nice to see them flying..

[@87SRV]

awesome thanks for uploading this, love the F-86's cool seeing three fly together

[@reggiedavison4446]

"WE ARE ONE" ABSOLUTELY MESMERIZING!! THANK YOU!! RAD/DC

[@larryjenkinson5525]

Love them 86's

[@nowlookatthat]

Three beauties doing a great formation display - very cool seeing that. Thanks for sharing :-)

あたかも日本の86ブルーを見ているかの様な映像。いつになってもF-86は良いですね。 幼い頃見た86ブルーを思い出しました。自分のマニア道への入口でした。 当時のTV等で放映された映像は今でも見る事は出来ますが、機材も古いもの。 現在の機材での鮮明な映像で86を見る事が出来、感激です。 撮影者の技量も、3名のパイロットの技量も良いですね。

[@weezy2010]

This formation plan is so beauty.

[@shreddinjoe]

Such an awesome beautiful bird,..

[@beverlychmelik5504]

Just came accross my feed. I haven't seen an F-86 demo team singe seeing the Blue Lightening team for the Japanese AF back in 1976.

[@Bull53]

I like this air craft!

[@jeffcharlton9660]

Gorgeous x 3. Great video.

[@richardbradley2802]

Impressive flying in that tight Vic, just hope there's no MiG's around...

[@biipolaar]

Does anyone know why the leader's engine doesn't smoke like the others ? New engine ? different fuel or something ?

[@Agwings1960]

I seriously doubt these guys do air shows for a living, they probably don't get paid enough from air shows to compensate for the expense of the aircraft, let alone the extra training that goes into flying like this. More than likely they do this for the love of flying and to promote aviation, probably using their own money. Out of 20 thousand views, you've got about 130 likes, sometimes people piss me off!!!

[@dllmpb06]

They get an appearance fee plus fuel upon arrival for their performance and topped off again before they depart home. A hotel room per pilot including rental cars are also provided. The fees cover the cost and make it worthwhile to attend airshows. The one pilot Dan actually is a billionaire and has over 40 vintage aircraft including owning two of the sabres you see here. They do about 20 shows a year mostly in P-51D mustangs again owned by Dan.

[@wadesaxton6079]

Dan Friedken. Billionaire family, great supporters of Aviation, African nature preserves alongside other things. The family father started an airline and was friends with Carol Shelby. Saw an opportunity to import Toyota in the 60’s and it worked out. $$$

[@ovationpdh]

AWESOME!

[@julioperichi1438]

Great planes.

[@alespersin6066]

Never seen 3 Sabres flying together. Vonderfull aircraft. Is there video view from the cocpit?

[@marilyn3583]

I wonder if the "bang-seats" work or if you have to bail out manually. Possibly they don't make the cartridges for the seats anymore.

[@mike104740]

Why is the middle one putting out less smoke than the others? Does it have a different engine?

[@Aviatorspot]

Awesome display!

[@CarlosFuentes-fk8md]

El F86 Sabre, el maravilloso avión, veterano de la guerra de Corea.

[@CessnaFlyerVT]

It's sad that people only know this historic aircraft because they play a video game, rather than know the actual history

[@amberteague6199]

@@CessnaFlyerVT for many people video games encourages them to learn more about these wonderful machines.

[@prog1853]

CessnaFlyerVT it’s how a lot of people get encouraged to learn more about them. Just because that isn’t the path you took doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

[@henryhorner3182]

Just watch those ice cream parlors, guys!

[@peterkirgan6850]

For70yr old planes?? God bless the sabre! Wish the RAAF still had a few flying

[@wolfdenpaul]

Nice video, very nice.

[@joshlawson5436]

Do you ever get vapor trails of the wingtips of F86's?

[@Starwarsgeek-98]

Yes but vapor trails happen at higher altitudes

[@markpowell93]

My dad flew this plane in Korea, and I'd like to use a bit of your video in a slideshow I made for his memorial tribute. Would that be okay? I would happily give you credit. Thanks!

[@ovationpdh]

Anyone know the names of the pilots flying these Sabres?

[@Ripster99]

Larry, Curly, and Moe.

[@SBUBandit]

Paul Hebert The Bremont Horsemen consists of Steve Hinton, Ed Shipley, and Dan Friedkin. I saw them in Battle Creek, MI a few years ago. They fly a few different planes and at the show I was at they flew three P-51 Mustangs. Great show, and their music and entrance is one of the best on the airshow cicruit

[@ovationpdh]

Steve Hinton is an incredible pilot, I wonder how many different types of aircraft he has flown?

[@SBUBandit]

Paul Hebert His bio on Horsemenflight.com says over 150 types of aircraft and he owns a company that restores warbirds. He definitely lives and breathes airplanes.

[@MrLuvOldies]

Thanks.Great F-86 SabreJets.Mmmmmmmm

[@LAXSPOTTER97]

nice!

[@warrenchambers4819]

Now that's an amazing sight. Somebody tell that noisy T6 to kill that loud ass prop. Haha

[@andrewnorgrove6487]

I know what the wingmen are watching and its not the bikini clad babe in row 4 !

[@viperdriver82]

The lead sabre has a different engine. ...smokeless

[@BETTER.ART.]

There is smoke, just not as dark as the other ones.

[@heettreet]

usa in its hay diay ,,,, the f86 protected us

[@Starwarsgeek-98]

I thinke the F-15s, F-16s, and F-22s are keeping use pleanty safe atm

[@324Aadi]

shot down 5 indian jets less then 1 minutes by sir M.M Aalam the little dragon respect

[@rcpilot9963]

I don't think that yellow painting was good in combat. It was much easier to aim at plane painted that way...

[@Starwarsgeek-98]

The brits had bullseyes on their planes

[@jeffcharlton9660]

The yellow stripes were to differentiate Sabres from Mig-15's during the heat of combat since they had similar silhouettes.

[@ruibruno9759]

Probably "E" and "F" versions because the different size of wingspans!...
