The video is from AgentJayZ, he lives in Jet City and is made of equal parts noise, heat and speed.

Check out the oil and fuel filters on this Orenda TR10

The Avro Canada TR3 Orenda  (modified for installation in the North American F86 Sabre from a Orenda 1)  was the first production jet engine from Avro Canada's Gas Turbine Division. Similar to the Rolls Royce Avon and the General Electric J47 in design the Orenda nevertheless outperformed its rivals in most ways and was fitted to the Orenda powered Canadair Sabres.

In the video this we see a Orenda 10 turbojet engine was sent to this guy for repairs. It was run right up to max takeoff power and was over thrust minima and under temp maxima at every point, which is a very good day for a jet engine and will soon make a Sabre jet pilot very happy, ready enough to chase down some MIG's.

 

 
 
A interesting look into the technical side of things.

A Great Walk-Around - release date 21st May 2020. 

The F-86 Sabre was scheduled for a photo flight a few weeks ago. Steve Hinton walks us around and explains various parts of the aircraft during his pre-flight. Part II coming soon includes cockpit footage of the flight.

 
 
Many thanks to Steve Hinton and the 'Planes of Fame' team for a brilliant video.

The Planes of Fame's F-86 Sabre and Mig-15 provided a flight demonstration for the February 2013. The F-86 is flown by Steve Hinton, the Mig-15 is flown by Chris Fahey and the AT-6 is flown by Tom Nightingale

Notice the F86 camera placement which gives a great view of the Sabre's passive slats in operation.
