Auto Credit Based on Pakdaaircraftindustries's Simple But Cool (ROUND 2)

For the Second round of this challenge I have another Fighter this time inspired from the F86 and Commmonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) Saber... The F86 Saber for the U.S.A.F markings and the CAC saber for the increase in engine performance, size and the 2 mighty 30 mm ADEN cannons which are however in the form of the humble wing guns which mind you can still pack a punch where needed (I took the rounds per second and muzzle velocity from the ADEN)

Some noticeable differences is the original Sabers had only x2 Sidewinders but mine has 4 and the other is the Saber never had in air aerial refuelling flying boom eventually for testing the system but mine has has the probe for the drouge system and it is correct for the era of the 50s in the U.S.A.F.

All markings I did by myself + internet

Operating Procedures is more straightforward this time round
AG1 Spoilers
AG2 Lights
AG3 Jettison Fuel
AG4 Jettison Missiles
VTOL: FLAPS
Trim: Trim
Flaps Half take off and full for landing
Spoilers are recommended for short final 
Does ok at low speeds (still have control even at 100 knots)

There are also limited CAS support variants and 2 Bomber versions stay tuned for those

The best thing it was designed to kill was the MiG 15 in the Challenge Thumbnail

Welcome to the F88 Saber aka my take of 2 marvellous jets
