  • CASM-Canadair-CL-13B-Sabre-F-86
    CANADA AVIATION AND SPACE MUSEUM AIRCRAFT CANADAIR CL-13B / F-86 SABRE MK 6 RCAF GOLDEN HAWKS SERIAL 23651 Introduction In August 1949, Canadair Limited, located at the Cartierville Airport facilities near Montreal, and the Department of National Defence (DND) signed a contract for the manufacture under license of 100 of the most advanced swept-wing day fighter aircraft of the time, the North American Aviation (NAA) F-86 Sabre. Assigned the Canadair model number CL-13, this order led to the largest aircraft production run in Canadair’s history. From 1949 to October 1958, Canadair Limited went on to produce some 1,815 examples of the famed fighter, in models ranging from the Sabre Mark (Mk) 1 up to the ultimate Sabre Mk 6 series, with a few special experimental models emanating from the production batches. The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) was the prime customer for the majority of these aircraft, but the power and reputation of the Canadian-built examples had other nations sit up and take notice, eventually culminating in numerous orders to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and non-NATO countries. Canadair delivered versions of the CL-13 Sabre to the United States, Britain, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Yugoslavia, Germany, Columbia, and South Africa. RCAF variants served domestically training pilots and crews, and performed an important role in the Canadian commitment to provide a European air contingent for NATO operations. Some of the Canadian-based RCAF units wished to proudly show off their shiny new jet mounts to the general public, seeing as they were paying for them in one way or another, and permission was eventually granted for limited public expositions.

  • Southern California Fact Sheet
    FAA Facts Federal Aviation Administration, Washington, D.C. 20591 Southern California Metroplex The Federal Aviation Administration’s Next Generation Air Transportation System, or NextGen, is the on-going transformation of air traffic control technologies and procedures in the United States. You might think of this transition as similar to moving from paper maps to GPS when you drive your car. In addition to improving navigation, NextGen brings other benefits: • NextGen enhances aviation safety, reduces workload on the flight crew and air traffic controllers, provides repeatable predictable flight paths and modernizes air traffic procedures to today’s standards. o A key NextGen goal is to safely improve the way aircraft navigate complex, metropolitan areas, which we call Metroplexes, to make flight routes and airports more safe and efficient. • The FAA has identified multiple Metroplex areas in the United States. Each Metroplex includes one or more commercial airports that serve at least one major city: o A Metroplex allows the FAA to improve regional traffic movement by making the best use of airspace and procedures, using precise, satellite-based navigation. • Use of NextGen procedures in these areas could improve on-time performance, which would benefit the region and the entire National Airspace System. SoCal Metroplex The airspace surrounding the Southern California area has a large number of air traffic procedures which have not been changed for many years. • While these procedures are safe, most are inefficient due to advances in technology. • This is one of the reasons why the airspace surrounding the Southern California airports have been identified for Metroplex development. • The proposed Metroplex would allow for more direct and efficient routing of aircraft into and out of Southern California and its surrounding airports, enhancing aviation safety, and reducing flight delays above these communities.
