F-86F SABRE JET “Skyblazers”

Into the spring of 1949 the very first routes of the Skyblazers Air Demonstration Team took places into the skies over Europe within airbase in Furstenfeldbruk, Germany. The pilots had been the main 22nd fighter squadron from the 36th Fighter Wing as part of the USAFE (usa Air Forces in European countries). The team had been instructed by the USAFE headquarters to create an aerobatics group utilizing F-80B aircraft and perform demonstrations throughout European countries. Quickly a short while later the group was presented with modified F-84E Thunderjet aircraft. The 50-caliber machine weapons were taken from the leading for the aircraft for better managing inside demonstrations. By the summertime of 1952 the group had done more that 260 atmosphere demonstrations in more than 12 countries.
