This North American F-86F Sabre, marked 'C-101' and bearing the roundel of a foreign air force, illustrates the type's widespread export success during the Cold War. In the early 1960s, the Argentine Air Force acquired surplus F-86F Sabres from the United States to modernize its jet fighter fleet, following the pattern of many allied nations that operated the Sabre after its frontline U.S. service. This example is shown secured on a factory or storage ramp, likely prior to delivery. Project: 218472
