She does look the business, good news.

Got to say
beautiful, clean lines. Was the Sabre the last of the gunfighters, before everything started going BVR I mean?

The F-8 Crusader was billed as such.

Only just spotted this Andy, thanks! Lovely bird, the Sabre, almost as beautiful as the Hunter, and definitely one of my favourites.

Cheers Andy.
This is great to see it almost ready to go. I got up close to this Sabre in 07 and its pretty awesome to say the least. The RAAF still own it I beleive, will be great to see it pair up with the shark teeth CAC mustang they operate out of Point cook.
