Frédéric Akary/F-86 Sabre Project (Now The Flying Bulls)

Legendary pilot, engineer, and aircraft restorer Frédéric Akary describes flying a Canadair-built F‑86 Sabre Mk. VI during a solo display at the 2025 Battle of Britain Air Show in Duxford. Akary explains what distinguishes the Mk.VI from earlier Sabre variants, including the Canadian-built Avro engine and the significant increase in thrust compared to early Korean War–era models. He also walks through the preparation required for a vintage jet display, from extended pre-flight inspections to documentation review and mental rehearsal.
