[1920px/Full HD] The North American F-86 Sabre, sometimes called the Sabrejet, is a transoceanic jet fighter aircraft. The Sabre is best known as the United States' first swept-wing fighter that could counter the swept-wing Soviet MiG-15 in high-speed dogfights in the skies of the Korean War (1950–1953), fighting some of the earliest jet-to-jet battles in history. Considered as one of the best and most important fighter aircraft in that war, the F-86 is also highly rated in comparison with fighters of other eras. Although it was developed in the late 1940s and was outdated by the end of the 1950s, the Sabre proved versatile, adaptable and continued as a front-line fighter in numerous air forces, until the last active operational examples were retired by the Bolivian Air Force in 1994.
