Crazy F-86 Pilots 526th FBS USAFE

One of the first Air Force Squadron made videos. This one is about the arrival of the "new" North American F-86F Sabre jet. This was made by the 526th FBS (Fighter Bomber Squadron),"The Black Knights". This film was made at a USAFE base in Germany in 1953. I was aware this video existed and eventually found it to post here, because my dad was a "Geiger Tiger". The "Geiger Tigers" were the 498th FIS (Fighter Interceptor Squadron) and flew th F-86D model. The F-86 "D" model was know as the Sabredog. The "Tigers" had a motto to which in part said, "We can beat any man, from any land, at any game that he can name, for any amount that he can count". So the "Tigers" were not going to sit by and let lessor squadrons take the limelight. So the "Tigers" soon produced their own movie, titled, "Oh How They Flew". That video is also available on my page here on youtube. The "Tigers" movie became an Air Force hit, achieving almost "cult like" status. So great was the demand for their film, that the Air Force hired Hollywood professionals to re-make the movie for mass distribution within the Air Force. There are probably only 3 or 4 locations in the world that have both of these videos. I am proud to one of those.
This video is dedicated to Maj. Gen. Jones E. Bolt, CO, 526th Group.

Too bloody funny! Should have used Benny Hill theme instead, but funny nonetheless!

Thanks for sharing.

@SpotterOz

That does sound like it could be pretty funny.

Add in some three stooges sound clips and...LOL or maybe even the coveted RTFLMAO. (I think thats the acronym anyway)

Maybe I'll do it, if I can find the time that is!

The music is shockingly rubbish....nice vid tho.

@fuzzyapple45

The Brits have the most polite way of saying...that sucks.

[1846tt]

why is this stupid song on every other youtube video? this is a 50's jet fighter video for christ's sake.

P.S.

Christ recently sent me an e-mail...he thinks the music is pretty funny and fits the video.

I literally LOL'd like five times at this video...starting when the C.O. in the Caddy turned out to be on a moped! I never literally laugh at videos. And when the guy tying the switches launches himself. And of course, the old clown car routine! I think the music is fine. I'm sure there are other songs that would work as well, but I think this one works just great. Thanks for a great laugh; I've added it to my favorites.

Too damn funny

[AndreHuguesSolide]

It really funny keep the good work 8)

[DeeBarber]

Love the music, it accentuates the fun and funny attitude that was obviously the intent of the film's creators.

Hilariously LOL funny at the start and throughout but some fine flying from @5:30 on and it's fun seeing that tail come off @4:10. Thanks for posting! ♥

what a great video ! The F-86 was my Dads first "big" job at North American (He designed the wings-original N.A. wanted delta wings). They liked his work so much that he did the F-100's airframe next.
