Not stated there, but one of a very few surviving Sabres which saw service in the Korean War. There are many far less worthy airframes being better looked after! NMUSAF need to do something - exchange it with a Sabre 2 maybe?

All the more reason...as I asked before....


At the very least, could we try and find a canopy for it?

Would/coud the NMUSAF help?
Are there any laying around unused?
How about a mold for a fiberglass one?
