F86 was probably one of the most beautiful planes built.

Those of you who are starting your career in aviation or just enjoying the amazing freedom of being a private pilot, there are some really good lessons in this video. These lessons have more to do with attitude than they do the Sabre. Please note how utterly humble, self-effacing and matter-of-fact Steve is in how he talks about flying. No sense of entitlement. No arrogance. No mein of being Mr. Know-it-all. (Although you should note how well he understands the systems of that airplane. Anybody doubt he's rebuilt that accumulator he's describing in minute detail?) Steve Hinton is the kind of aviator you should aspire to be. Quiet. Utterly proficient. Grateful. Loaded with humility. Willing to share and help others understand. My guess is Steve has had whatever ego he started with mercilessly beat out of him by airplanes and circumstance. Startle syndrome, fear, followed by performing as you've been trained, and surviving do a lot to bring about the proper understanding of your role as a pilot. At 11:32 he says "If you get the right training and you get the proper attitude..." That's it. Attitude is everything. Attitude determines altitude. In more ways than one. Thanks to the folks at Planes of Fame for sharing your leader with the rest of us.

Some years back there was talk of a movie in preproduction named "Mig Alley". I would have loved to see that come to reality.

Hinton is so casual on this commentary. I can barely keep from screaming how awesome this jet is. Great vid and much respect to you aviators.

Great video. I could sit and watch these all day. Thank you.

I've always love the F-86 as a boy now that I'm 72 I'm still amazed that they are still flying since the inception in 1949 keep flying Steve!!

I had the great fortune to be able to talk with this fine fellow a year ago, before and after his brother took me for a ride in Spam Can, a P51D, where I sat where the behind-the-pilot gas tank used to be. What a gift! Steve told me that the F86 is his favorite. The first time I ever heard the name of this great guy was back in 1975, in Air Classics magazine - back in the RB51 days. I'll never forget this day!

My father was a mechanic working on F-86 at Edwards AFB in the early 50’s. He somehow got sucked up in the intake when working on the front landing gear. He survived with some injuries. He also spoke of sometimes working on the F-86 that Chuck Yeager flew. My dad’s name was Chuck Fultz. Love your videos

My Father was killed in a F86 at McDill AFB in 1963.his head hit the canopy when he ejected..he also was shot down 2 times in Korea..his name.Richard Thomas Gibson "GIBBY".. Capt.USAF.enjoyed the video

Galen.....thank you for sharing that. I salute the courage, bravery and patriotism of your dad. I know you are so proud of him.

So enjoy hearing the commentary along with the in-cockpit footage. So often, having the camera in the cockpit with the pilot, you don't really know what's going on, other than the scenery moving around.

I could listen to Steve talk over videos like this for literal DAYS. Please keep these coming

So less than 3mins into the video. I now know why Steve flies the F86 and l do what l can do .....drive my car!! Thanks Steve. Very detailed explanation, the lack of response from the early jet engines could certainly prove fatal. You must have been like a kid in a candy store! Was Bob Hoover as affable as he appeared? He must have been like a mentor to you. Thankyou.

Arguably the most beautiful jet built. Love the way you narrate the flight. Enjoy your talk very much. Safe flights.

As a US Navy sailor who had to lug 50 caliber ammo up 6 decks during GQ I will personally attest to the weight of 50 cailber ammo and the M2 machine gun!

What a treat Steve. Every pilot watching this video has these dreams. Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Narration and video quality excellent too.

As an A&P, I.A. I had the pleasure to spend a lot of time working on a Super Decathlon belonging to a retired USAF Lt Col, who flew F86, F-100, F-105 (100 missions over North Vietnam,) and F-111. He told me a story of when he was in an F-86 squadron in France and they were deployed to Libya for gunnery practice, and Chuck Yeager was part of the flight. On the way back to France, with Chuck leading, he "accidentally" led the group over Switzerland. Naturally the Swiss would have one of this so they dispatched their squadron of DeHavilland Vampires for the intercept. He said it was fun to watch the British jets stall as they tried in vain to reach the altitude the F-86 was capable of. There was some serious explaining to do after the RTB though.

Well, after listening to all that info, I'm ready to fly a Sabre. Let's go find us some Mig-15's.

..doubt it...the F-86 was an instant classic with its curves & bubble canopy

Seeing early jets in the air is always so fascinating. A: that they're even still flying, but also B: they're such an interesting mixture of WW2-era technology (especially the cockpits) and what was then cutting edge aviation innovations. But I'm sure you're glad you weren't flying on one of the earlier engines. My understanding is those things were serious dogs.

In Flemington, NJ at the local VFW hall, they once had a TBM, an F-94C Starfire, and F-84F Thunderstreak. Loved crawling all over and through those birds.

Steve did one of the best narrations of procedures and flight information on an aircraft that I've seen. Very enjoyable thank you!

Love the classic lines of the Saber! Thanks for the inspiration. I will try to imitate the in-cockpit experience flying an RC model Saber FPV...

I cane back to patiently watch and was not disappointed .Great video of a great aircraft

Here are some photos from this flight. A very big thank you to Planes of Fame, Steve Hinton and Scott Slocum for the photo opportunity. mattbooty.wordpress.com/2020/06/04/photo-flight-with-planes-of-fame-f-86f-sabre/

22 years old and flying for Bob Hoover! Steve is definitely Gods pilot

Steve - you are the Hoover/Yeager of our generation and I hope your gas tank stays full a long time my friend. I fly the Sabre in simulation only and I can't believe how accurate to the real thing it is! Thank you sir!

Thanks for taking me along for the ride.

Thank you. What a great video from the pilots perspective. Please do more.

Very cool. Thanks for making this video.

Steve - We in Australia have a CA 27 Sabre at Temora, which under FAA rules was grounded due to non-compliant ejection seat. Your rules must be different and more relaxed , which is great - to allow us to see this fine aircraft in her element. Lets hope ours can join her soon!

Too Cool! Always love his videos.

Hi Steve, a postscript to my comment. I think you should get Bob Newhart to do his take on "How to fly an F86" He'd have us all in stitches!!

Excellent vid- TY for posting 😎

Another great video Steve. All Aok to be sure. Thanks.

Thanks for the flight. Looking forward to a Bearcat flight also!

Thanks for the great voice over again, made the 20 minutes fly right by. Hope to see a similar Bearcat video. Would be interesting to hear what kinds of maneuvers the powerful Bearcat is capable of, compared to other fighters. Read once that the Bearcat could take off right into a loop and land right out of the loop again back on the same runway.

I enjoy every minute of the PoF Airshows, but I think my favorite is the Korean War with the F-86, MiG 15 and T-33.

...LOVED this aircraft even at an early age, but even more so after I saw the movie "The Hunters" with Robert Mitchum and a very young Robert Wagner...

Thanks for the ride........

What is the cost per flight hour on an F-86?

Awesome, just awesome.....

anyway I happened upon this video since we are documenting a couple of jet crashes just east of Las Vegas. there were two. One was the first model of f86 in which the student went into a spin and ejected in 1953. The other 1.5 miles west was an f100A in which he ran out of fuel because no gauges and flamed out. My question is why in this video does the cockpit sound totally silent? was there overdubbing?

Howdy Steve! I was over in HNL last winter and Roscoe came up to the cockpit and introduced himself. He's quite a character. Your name MIGHT have come up....Cheers!

Awesome video please keep them coming! Can I suggest this same style video with the MiG 17? Thank you in advance!

Awesome! Love the technical details. Hopefully you can make it to the Warhawk Warbird Roundup in Idaho in Sept!

These PoF videos just keep getting better and better, this is awesome. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Take-off with full flaps seems unusual, why doesn't it use a more intermediate position?

Merci beaucoup depuis le sud ouest de la France , Axel

Merci beaucoup ...

Great ride the ...Saber Jet. How about a video of a T-33 checkout? And Steve you were with Al Reddick and do you recall picking up a T-33 parked for years at Sacramento Executive Airport in the 70's?

The Bob Hoover F-86 was the Fighter Imports (with Leroy Penhall) N8686D.

Thanks

This would be a dream to fly

Thanks Steve that was cool , are the marks on the canopy reference marks for when you do some acrobatics ?

Sweet

i bet the f86 is a super fun plane to fly

Nice flight. Does anyone know how the flaps lever in the real F86 works? There are some notches, so I guess it can be latched in the up or down position. Does it self return if it is not notched ("spring-loaded")? How do the pilots typically operate it? Do they hold it and release and it returns by itself to the neutral position? (Question is only about the lever action, not about procedures.)

What is the purpose of selecting full flaps for takeoff?

So I'm watching this, totally engrossed in what Steve has to say, & over my house suddenly the F-15s are heading for 104 TFW beer call. So I raise my PBR can...

What's it glide speed? Are spins prohibited?
