North American F-86 Sabre
The Sabrejet (nickname) was a transonic fighter aircraft used by the United States during the Korean War. It was the first swept-wing fighter capable of matching the swept-wing Soviet MiG-15 in high-speed dogfights in the sky. The F-86 is well regarded when compared to fighters from previous eras. Although it was created in the late 1940s, it had become obsolete by the end of the 1950s. It proved versatile and adaptable, and many air forces continued to utilize it as a front-line fighter, notably the Japanese, Francoist Spanish Air Force, and Republic of Korea Air Force. After evolving from the North American FJ-1 Fury, it had two variants: the Canadair Sabre and the North American Fj-2/-3 Fury. With pricing starting at $178,000, this plane is one of the more affordable alternatives on the list.
