[@CaptainChemtrails]

Never get tired of this man when he speaks. So much experience and knowledge.

[@steveturner3999]

Amen!

[@mentuemhet]

i meet him in real life. i'm 5'8. he's a bit taller. his personality is like this off camera as well.

[@CaptainChemtrails]

Doctor Who 2002 yeah I have too and can confirm he a very genuine person.

[@fredericknixon4477]

I guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I love any tips you can give me.

[@marcusblaze1293]

@Frederick Nixon instablaster ;)

[@kursk_kuku141]

To the staff, pilots, spokesperson, and all other employees of Plane of Flame: Amazing effort and work on the aircraft! That is... a BEAUTIFUL AIRCRAFT! And that is an honor to clean and fly F-86 Sabre!

[@waldothegreat100]

Steve in the 1980’s my wife and I used to grunt work at the museum. We’d sweep, clean glass cases, etc. I believe you had a newborn daughter at the time. Loved those big band dances where most people showed up in WWll uniforms.

[@MikeMcAuliffe-g2f]

I am so grateful that you have provided such a great exposition of this plane. Thank you.

[@singleproppilot]

Fascinating airplane, particularly the details of the hydraulic system and the chem-milled wing box. I had no idea those technologies dated to the 1940s.

[@bobcarter4343]

AS a teen living El Segundo, CA next to the LA Airport I would watch these F86 Sabre's take off regularly as they were made in El Segundo. Really a cool sight as a teen. Noise but exciting. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@Zoydian]

This is not an airplane, it's a work of art, wow!

[@kursk_kuku141]

Beats watching TV when your a kid!

[@teddammit5179]

Agree, this plane is a work of art.

[@Oesau1]

Beautiful silver fighter!

[@JohnnyJTav]

F-86 Mig. Killer... My Favorite Jet since I was a little Boy back in the 50s.

[@kevinhorning3624]

i have loved this aircraft for 60yrs. great walk around steve.

[@buckshot704]

Steve could narrate a slow motion, paint-drying video, and I’d still be fascinated at all the detail. The F-86; proof, as if it were needed, that aerial magic exists. CAVU 😎👍

[@TheFunkhouser]

The F86 was such a great looking aircraft!

[@Trojan0304]

Great pilot & Chino Air Museum is fantastic

[@highnitro707]

Excellent! thank you for this otherwise unattainable content!

[@zdenekoldrichmarek2867]

Great show,lots of youthfull memories from ManstonAFB/RAF UK of the late 40's and early 50's.Thankyou and Be Blessed.

[@christisgod3354]

She's a beaut. Love listening to Steve talk. Growing up, I remember reading about Steve in the aviation magazines, especially when he flew the Super Corsair.

[@George-pp2hr]

Thats an incredible looking Saber. Such a fantastic design. Love its earlier family of the Fury also. Wonderful Aircraft of those times. Thanks for that walk around introduction. Wonderful metal bird.👍🦘🐨🇭🇲✌️

[@terryandrews7271]

One of the most beautiful airplanes ever designed❤❤❤

[@distinguishedsilverfox3563]

Beautiful aircraft !

[@willamcombs1106]

Thank You for another fine Video. Love the F-86. They say it is the easiest of all jet fighters to fly and fly's like a dream. Can't wait for part 2.

[@5695q]

When I was stationed at Pt. Mugu in the early 90's they still had a half dozen or so F-86F's, some were in the Japanese Blue Impulse colors. It was interesting to watch them enter the break, the intakes make a weird howl as they bend it around the corner and start slowing down, my comment to a co-worker was " flashback to Korea". Unfortunately they were all gone within a year, replaced by F-4S's.

[@todd3205]

When I had the great fortune to meet Mr. Hinton back in May, He said that this is his favorite.

[@richbader332]

What a beautiful plane.

[@pontiacdriver999]

Rudder is just there for looks, it's a jet. That's awesome. Awesome guy!

[@daveculver1691]

Steve, you have the greatest job in the world...

[@karltite128]

This is the jet. In our town, we have one of these beauties on display at a park. Great video. In my buddy's and my artwork in elementary school this was the jet that was taking down saucers from outer space. Thanks 😊

[@ButchNackley]

Wyatt Fuller had one (Canadair F86, N86FS) based at KHKY. I worked next to the airport and live quite close too. I saw it fly numerous times. Loud, fast and very aerobatic. It was a beautiful airplane. At Airventrue 2005 he won reserve grand champion in the post WWII category. Sadly Wyatt was killed in an attempt to abort a take off when he was leaving for Oshkosh in 2006. He was unable to stop the plane. It went off the end of the runway, struck the localizer antenna, continued down the hill, through the fence and came to rest in the road.

[@ronbjur5309]

I was on Okinawa in 1955, these were parked along the runway at Kadena Air base, saw one go down, crashed in the Marine Corp Bombing range

[@Thekennel177]

Four planes I want. One: Sopwith Camel. Two: P 51 Mustang, Three: F86 Sabre. Four: F4 Phantom.

[@HarvestTexas]

That's my wish list also..!

[@brianwhite1866]

Great video! I can't wait to see more. I had the pleasure of meeting Steve at Oshkosh 2014 when he brought Glacier Girl in right before a big storm came through. We had a nice conversation in one of the big concession tents as we watched the storm go by, good times.

[@747heavyboeing3]

Saw it fly again on Saturday. Great flight and Steve was the pilot

[@rodericksibelius8472]

I am a US Navy Veteran Schooled, Trained AMH (Aviation Metals, Structures, Hydraulics/Flight Controls, Landing Gear/Brake Systems Mechanic/Technician, for 7 years, 9 months of active duty. I still know how to FIX aircraft from that Real World Class Practical experience and have used the Skills and learned more advanced concepts when I went to work for Lockheed Aerospace / Space Systems Division. Every time a Pilot show me parts of an Aircraft I still have that passion, the high pressures, pneumatic, hydraulic valves, cables, servo motors, and that Life Experience made it easy for me to get a Mechanical Engineering degree with a minor in Physics.

[@Richard-fb6dr]

Thanks Steve. She is my favorite at POF.

[@CarlosFuentes-fk8md]

Muy buena exhibición del F86 Sabre, un superavión, héroe de Corea.

[@josephgunter7830]

Always enjoy Steve talking in great detail..but in very simple terms that,s very easy to understand how the system..or component.actually functions..wonderful pilot..very good talker...

[@rogerhonore]

The fighter plane of my childhood!

[@themajesticmagnificent386]

Great walk around,thank you🇬🇧🇺🇸👍

[@ericonline7]

Thank you for the informative walkaround. A superb, beautiful aircraft!

[@gendoikari6062]

Hello Steve! Is good to see such a great man still so actively taking care of those beautiful and important birds..! Best wishes..!!

[@theadventuresofjavier8698]

Never met this great man but I've seen him flying various aircraft when visiting POF . My first visit a few decades ago found me taking pictures of him flying this very aircraft. As always great job Steve

[@altonwilliams7117]

Very clean looking Sabre👍

[@darrellid]

Edgar Schmued designed some iconic aircraft, didn't he? P-51, F-86, F-5, even the T-38--all impactful and stunning in their own right.

[@johngjacobi]

Holy cow...this is a dream. My old man flew the -D model....prettiest airplane ever......I would pay a lot of money to go up in one.

[@ericlakota1847]

It's cool seeing plane in museum but one that is still flying is awsome

[@daveschwi3767]

Thanks Steve! It's always great to see these videos from you.

[@FougaFlyer]

One of my old time favs. Nice vid 👍✈

[@gettinghosed]

I had the good fortune to meet Steve and visit briefly at ICAS years ago. Such a humble guy. I don't remember why, but we talked about the filming of the movie "Always".

[@jerryumfress9030]

Great narration sir, and the F-86 is a beautiful aircraft

[@n3307v]

Excellent video. Thanks for making this.

[@johndavey72]

That was great timing. The final clip when Steve goes to start up. Boy that engine sounds rough!😂😂 Great stuff, the engineering is such a quantum leap in such a short space of time. And the P51 was still being used in the same combat! Thank you. Everyday is a school day.

[@VELOC113]

Thar engine sound you heard was the Ground power unit(gpu) so it wasn't the jet or a car near by.

[@brucemaclennan9879]

Thanks for the walk-around - my two favourite jet fighters of the '50s are the Sabre F86 and the Hawker Hunter.

[@ashtojor000]

Thank you so much. My Grandpa flew these in Korea and always talked about what a great plane she was

[@georgehasler142]

Steve good information on the F-86 my dad flew it we have seen it fly in person at events at Chino airport always fly safe

[@alamogordo280]

Great! I want to see a video about his brother, the f86D

[@rpgrynn]

Steve - Great video and miss you all

[@mattdaugherty7865]

I saw Steve Hinton test fly the "Glacier Girl" P-38 on a PBS program a few years back and have been a big fan ever since!

[@leesherman100]

Great video of a great plane. Thanks Steve on a job well done.

[@javierlleotomas3322]

Simply amazing, I would like to flight one of those Sabres!!

[@steveturner3999]

I still remember 1979 and the Red Barron RB51 crash. The first info stated Steve was killed in the crash. Thank God that was an error! He is right up there with Bob Hoover and Chuck Yeager.

[@jamespruitt3159]

This is one beautiful jet!

[@alouiciousjackson5812]

The most beautiful aircraft ever made, peroid.

[@Doones51]

I have followed jet aviation since the fifties, and this is the clearest and most informative walk-around tour i have ever seen. I like the way he explains things. Fascinating, thanks 4 sharing

[@Tree_Dee]

Thank you NA for such a pretty (& lethal) airplane!

[@andrewferguson3535]

Thanks very much Steve. These videos are fantastic! 👍❤️

[@hangie65]

Excellent clip. Informative and entertaining. An education. And hosted by the man himself. More videos like this one on other PoF's aircraft would be a treat. Please keep them coming! Thanks.

[@JackFlemingFan1]

Excellent video and thanks for posting it! Love those F-86 Sabres Jets!

[@peterkirgan2921]

Great video Steve! Thanks but I know Sabre that was heaps better?? It was the CA27 Sabre Australian version with a Rolls Royce engine did mach 1 Aden cannons ! Flew these out of Williamtown nsw before converting to the French Lady ❤❤❤ Mirage 3 back in 1986 !! Great times ! Great memories! Take care everyone!!!!

[@rfb91a]

Great simple explanation... and I love the sound of the diesel engine starting up as he enters the cockpit (reminds me of the movie 'Airplane').

[@ahoo5753]

A work of art ❤

[@joshualeis2958]

My great uncle flew the Sabre during the Korean War. Stationed at K-13 (suwon air base)

[@ColonelJohnmatrix1000]

Beautiful walk around. Very informative of a legendary aircraft.

[@CrazyPetez]

I’ve always thought the F86 is the best looking fighter. It looks so purposeful.

[@jeff9104]

Great stuff, looking forward to part 2 !

[@spanieaj]

My Dad was a crew chief on the F-86 in Korea.

[@jonathanstein1783]

And I've always thought the F-86 was the best looking, "sexiest" jet of the early jet fighters. The rc model I built many years ago, a ducted fan, was so easy to fly! Thinking about building another someday, this time with a turbine.

[@ftargr]

It’s a beautiful aircraft, thank you

[@victormanuelpolanco922]

Such a beautifully sleek jet!!!

[@spamjosh6526]

F86 is my favorite jet

[@dks13827]

Rusty Schweikart said this was his favorite fighter plane to fly.

[@jeffcoulter7181]

That was very informative, thank you.

[@Portrayalpress]

Super - thank you for sharing!

[@michelestone3194]

Reminds me of when I was a kid at Luke Air Force Base climbing on the fire trucks and in and out of the h43 B

[@dks13827]

Loved Steve since the Red Baron P-51 days. Did Steve fly military ?

[@Hopeless_and_Forlorn]

Beautiful airplane, great walkaround. Never worked on an F-86, but I was a gun plumber in an F-100 wing before the F-105 replaced it. Question: looking in the engine inlet, at about ten o'clock position (looking from the rear, of course) there appears to be a rectangular panel that does not quite fit the curve of the inlet section. Could that possibly be a gun-purge air door? I know the F-100 had such a door, but it was located in the bottom of the inlet. Since it was hydraulically powered, the associated accumulator had to be discharged before anybody could safely enter the inlet. By the way, the M-39 revolver cannon as used on the F-86H and F-100 aircraft made a great gun system. Simple, reliable, fast firing and hard hitting. It was much superior, in my opinion, to the Gatling gun/linkless feed system that showed up on the F-105D. A gun system that jams every time you try to use it is worse than useless.

[@gregmctevia5087]

Good show.

[@rchoper21]

Awesome airplane! Great pilot, is there any plane Steve Hinton can't fly!

[@BeechSportBill]

...more info about the tailpipe inserts please...

[@republicofaviators4589]

All i have ever wanted to do in my life is fly an F-86 Sabre. Maybe one day.

[@rolandpinter4292]

good walk around,help for my model making ,cheers mein

[@rodgerhecht3623]

Thanks Steve, you sure know your stuff. I can only dream, i do fly a RC F-86. It is a sweet flier just like the full scale. Enjoy your vids

[@rossmccready2657]

Could you do a talk, walk round and flight of the Fw190 and the BF109E please in the future?

[@THEQuantumBacon]

I thought the 6-3 wing got rid of the slats. I guess I was wrong. Either that, or they added them back in later F models? Awesome plane regardless, and Steve Hinton is a badass.

[@maximilliancunningham6091]

Beutifull. Thank you.

[@bigbeard134]

This is badass 💯🤙🇺🇸

[@jonathanstein1783]

Hope you and family are doing well, Mr Hinton -a former POF volunteer

[@millicentsquirrelhole582]

You want a fabulous bird? Look at the 86...North American's ode to killer beauty...Wow!

[@robinj.9329]

Didn't this first flight about 1950? Or before? So were looking at late 40's technology! W O W ! By the guys with drawing boards and slide rules!

[@montaguthorne2342]

Please give us a rundown of the cockpit area, canopy and Weber seat workings. Also maybe mention how you would get out in an emergency.

[@dllmpb06]

I'll answer the " how you get out in an emergency" quickly is how.

[@mitchcarley]

Fantastic!

[@P61guy61]

Thank you for posting
