Section 8 F-86

[Javis]

That Sabre looks almost a dead ringer for the real thing, it's so beautifully made.

I was lucky enough to witness this past weekend the real thing flying, when the beautifully restored Temora Aviation Museum RAAF CA-27 Sabre took to the air for it's first public flying display in 17 years. Magic in motion.

The following photo's are from http://www.aviationmuseum.com.au/aircraft/raafsabre.cfm Check the News section.

Thanks,Pips !

Great to see the CA-27 flying again ! ( our Sabre model has a lot do with the CA-27, the photos that i used for VC texturing come from CA-27 A97-974 at the Classic Jet Fighter Museum, Adelaide, courtesy Warwick 'Wozza' Carter ) Great video, bummer about the music at start-up... this was a good chance to hear ( and maybe use... ) an Avon being started...

Also interesting to see a Martin Baker ejection seat ( 4DSA perhaps ?....) installed rather than the much more common NAA F-86 seat. Would love to model that.

Initial preparations have been made for a CA-27 model, a.o. air intake enlarged and 6 MG's replaced by Aden cannons. Too bad there are only 48hours in a day....





Work goes on.

Cheers,
Jan

Luv the look of those Ca-27's Jan. Simply beautiful.

Your right about the music in that video. The start-up procedure is slow and rather drawn out - but the sound of that Avon winding up to ignition is ....... well it sent shivers down my spine.

By the by Canberra is only a couple of hours bike ride from Temora. If it would help I'd be happy to see if I could impose on the guys at Temora for any photo's of things you may need, or try and get a clear sound of the start-up of the Avon. Drop me a line by PM if I can help at all.

Take a look at a thread started by me in June, 2012: "F-86 Sabre Jet" Sorry I don't know how to just post the link to the thread.

I guess I mis-read your request. I thought you were looking for the updated version for FSX. That link is NOT for a FS9 model. I can't help you out on an update for FS9.

IMHO

This is "FSX general's" discussion forum. So I expect that we are talking here about FSX addons. There is another forum for FS9 discussion.

I only like the Australian CA-27 'Avon' Sabre, what a jet that must have been to fly! Two Adens and 7520lbs thust minus 400lbs for the engine change too. Cant wait to fly this!

Aw, drat, I was hoping that that file was the fabled native FSX F-86.

Any idea if that's still being worked on? (I run DX10, so the portover's not an option.)

Is it still in the queue, Javis?
