Canadair Sabre

The Canadair Sabre was a jet fighter built by Canadair under licence from California-based North American Aviation Inc. primarily for use by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). It was produced until 1958 and used by the RCAF until replaced with the Canadair CF-104 in 1962. Several other air forces would adopt the aircraft. The resulting variant was considered one of the finest dogfighters of its day.
