This aircraft, the F86, is perhaps one of the best dogfighters of the jet age. A timeless classic. Just the open- air intake gives it the impression of an aggressive screaming mouth, yelling : "Bring it on!" Its look is simply classic. It has a special place in my heart. I am from Pakistan and this fighter was used by Pakistan in the 1965 and 1971 conflicts with India. By that time, it was considered outdated by many, but it still shot down quite a few supersonic Soviet MIGS and SU-7's in close combat. Pakistan had the Canadair version of the F86. Some great low- level dogfights took place over the Indian Sub-Continent but Western media has never picked up on these clashes. Chuck Yeager was the U.S. military attaché to Pakistan during the 1971 war and he wrote about how the F86 was still outperforming the newer MIGS. My father flew the F86 during the 1971 conflict and during one encounter, he shot down 1 SU7 and damaged another.
I taped this movie off either the Movie Channel or Flix twenty some-odd years ago when both channels were still showing old classic films from Hollywood’s Golden Age. It was a black-and-white print being broadcast at the time. As of 2022, the original color print is still missing in action. And Robert Stack is still stiff as a board.
I don't know why but I've always LOVED old movies with jets in them...And this one is no exception..Go figure 😄😄😄 And it's interesting to watch this one right after "Air Cadet" with Rock Hudson because they were flying T-33's and even though it was made in 1951 the T-33's look dated compared to the Sabre...
I saw this movie as a nine-year-old boy back in '53 when it was first released in theaters. It was in color. It left quite an impression on me. I've never seen a color print of it since. It's a decent enough film but the stock action footage of old bi-planes and WW2 ground strafing clips are laughable.
Sabre Jet--flying F-80Cs? Really? Sheesh...Hammer

R.I.P. Robert Stack ❤🕯🫶🌹
When Richard Arlen forgot his good luck bracelet, all I could think was "It's 'Wings' (1927) all over again."
I’ve been looking for this film for a while! Watched it late one night when I was a kid, and it’s stayed with me ever since. Thank you!
Love this film because of Robert Stack who plays the loneliness so well
Would be great to find this movie in HIGHER RESOLUTION.
Saw this film in the early 1980s on a cable channel. The first time I ever saw a Sabre!
What a contrast with today.
Duty vs indulgence.

😅Whoops, when the F-80Cs landed, some of them became F-84Es...Hammer

What some call “stiff” is Robert Stack’s secret to being one of the most beautiful and sexiest men of old Hollywood ❤

Yes, the strafing footage was all taken from William Wyler’s WWII film “Thunderbolt” from 1944-it’s about P-47 squadrons in the Italian campaign.
Love this movie although the picture is not good
