These were the airplanes my dreams were made of as a child in the 1970s. Here in Kiel/Germany there was the first demand airline in Germany at that time. Their name was “Holstenflug” and I think they had 2 of these planes in their fleet - unforgettable times!
That is a really rare aircraft - can't think when I last saw a Sabreliner flying - it has been many years. I also hard a hard time recognizing Anoka County airport with all the new hangars east of runway 18/36 and north of 9/27, plus the extension of runway 18/36. Had to look at it on Google Maps to try to get my bearings. Used to fly out of ANE over 30 years ago
This is awesome! We had a Sabre liner at the A&P school I went to in Memphis. It was the first aircraft that I removed and installed a jet engine on. It really takes some skill, some knowhow, and some studying to maintain an old bird like that! I wonder how the parts situation is on it.
I believe the one that we had at our A&P school, was a 1955 model. I always heard that the wing is very similar, to the F-86 Sabre. Do you know what year this one is? I suppose I could look it up.
that is one sweet looking jet

Looks like it's in good hands

Oh wow it’s an ‘81.
Practically brand-new compared to the one I worked on.
I was not aware that they were in production that long.
