The Orenda 10 turbojet engine which powers a Canadair Sabre was sent to us for repairs. Here it is, running right up to max takeoff power, soon to make a Sabre pilot very happy.
We were over thrust minima and under temp maxima at every point, which is a very good day for a jet engine.
The Canadair Sabre is a Canadian-built licensed copy of the North American Aviation F-86 Sabre. An extremely successful fighter jet first used by the USAF in Korea, and also sold to many air forces around the world. Like its ancestor, the P-51 Mustang, the Sabre is a very responsive and satisfying aircraft to fly.
