Sadly, plane and pilot are no longer with us. Unfortunately, fate caught up with him.

Such a shame, would love to have seen a Sabre flying

Nope, it was Wyatt Fuller

Here is the NTSB report, it's pretty sobering:

Interesting this was posted. Wyatt purchased some F-86 rocket rail parts from me a week before he was killed. Just today I found the autographed photo he sent me. I never met him, but immensely enjoyed the few phone conversations we had. Sorry he's gone.

If you go to the youtube link Digger posted , look to the right and there is a brilliant video of Bob Hoover in an F86 ...fantastic video

Yep, that's from a DVD which I have. I didn't put up the link, though. It's from the 2 DVD set, "F-86 Sabre" from the now defunct Aircraft Films company. The set is THE definitive video collection of everything related to the F-86. It has the complete performance of Hoover's demonstration on it. The set is a MUST HAVE for the Sabre enthusiast.

OH, also, the date is actually 1961, not 1951. I know it's hard to tell with the small resolution of youtube links.
