That's an old view, with the (5+1) Sabre 4s listed above, which are still there. Sabre No.7 is an F-86K.

It'd be good to know a date for that Google image, but I'd guess it must be 10-15 years old (Google Earth gives a 2015 date, which I believe to be incorrect). The original image posted above (recent), shows the aircraft moved to the north of the ramp, in the area highlighted:

The one identified in the photo I posted, as FAH-3008, shows that the ejection seat was activated. This happened accidentally, when the airplanes were being withdrawn from service, and sadly, one of the mechanics was killed.

Saludos,


Tulio

Sooooo, how am I going to know to press 1 or 2, if I do not speak English????

Tulio,

Many thanks - I often wondered about that. FAH Sabres were unusual in having Martin-Baker seats installed but retained the conventional canopy retraction mechanism.
