The North American F-86 Sabre lays claim to a number of feats and achievements and was the first USAF fully-swept fighter to enter production. Renowned for its versatility and MiG kills in the Korean War, it was one of the great planes of the 1950's and beyond. It served with a number of air forces across the globe and is still flying at airshows, often with its nemesis the MiG-15, in the hands of "warbird" enthusiast pilots.
