North American F-86 Sabre Jet Fighter, Export Livery, Marked 'C-101'

A North American F-86 Sabre, marked 'C-101' and bearing a foreign air force roundel, rests on the ramp in this photograph. The F-86 was the backbone of American jet fighter forces during the Korean War and was subsequently exported to numerous allied nations throughout the 1950s and 1960s, extending its operational service and Cold War legacy well beyond U.S. Air Force use.
