Sabre Mk.6, target tug 'D-9538'

File Description:
Repaint of the absolutely awesome F-86F Sabre by SECTIONF8 (available at AVSIM), depicting a Canadair Sabre Mk.6 target tug aircraft, operated by CONDOR. In October 1966, the Lufthansa-affiliated CONDOR Flugdienst was commissioned to operate target-tugs for anti-aircraft training purposes. Six drawn-out-of-service Luftwaffe Sabre Mk. 6 were provided for the civil operator. They were stationed at Westerland/Sylt and beared a civil registration number. The D-9538 (Canadair c/n 1600) started service at Waffenschule 10 (fighter school), marked as 'BB-370' and 'BB-170'. After 1974, it was sold to FLIGHT SYSTEMS Inc, registered as N-1039C and N82FS. Taking part in the airshow business, it was painted in the colors of the "SKYBLAZERS" aerobatic team. It crashed at Lumberton, New Jersey on June 19th, 1999, killing its pilot and owner.
