A former Portuguese air force F-86F Sabre. Connected to the history due to the presence of the USAF(E) at the now disbanded Soesterberg air base. Marked with serialnumber ''25385'' to represent a F-86F which was actualy based at Soesterberg. The former Portguese serial (last 3 digits still visible under the paint) is 5307. Shame that it is outside now, in the past it was located inside and in a better condition than now.
