Limited Edition F-86 Sabre PlaneTag 1949-1956

F-86 Sabre PlaneTag

The Sabrejet first saw combat operations high above the Yalu River in Korea and achieved 757 air victories and 103 losses in the War of 1950-1953, and now you can own a real piece of military history when you purchase one of our F-86 Sabre PlaneTags at Aviator Mercantile Post.   We maintain the color, thickness, and wear and tear from the portion of the fuselage from which it was cut so it's extremely rare to have an identical, they are one-of-a-kind.  A true warrior would understand the beauty in the imperfections in the skin of a war machine after the battle, and we think these plane tags are such a memorable treasure to own.  These tags make a great gift for someone who was there or maybe for the grandchildren of a hero who fought with the unending war.

This F-86A saw combat against MiG-15s during the Korean War. It flew most of its missions from Kimpo Air Base near Seoul and bears the markings of the 4th Fighter Wing, the first F-86 unit in Korea.  This batch came from the fuselage of a decommissioned F-86 that was acquired from the Pima Air Museum in Tucson, Arizona.  It was a derelict rear section of an F-86 that sat out in the desert for many years.  Instead of destroying the section, the decision was made to cut it up to let a thousand people enjoy it.   The F-86 gained everlasting fame in the Korean Conflict, downing MiG 15s at a ratio of 10 to 1.  The first swept-wing jet built by North American Aviation.  It is a worthy successor to the company's earlier triumph, the P-51 Mustang.
