F-86 based at Valiant Air Command Museum

From the VAC website: “The Valiant Air Command is pleased and excited to announce that a world famous F-86 Sabre jet will now be based at the Titusville Warbird Musuem. This particular F-86 was built in 1953 and initially served in the USAF, before being transferred to Argentina; where it served from 1960 until 1988. At that time it was purchased and lovingly restored by Mr. Tom Righetti, who has since passed away. The aircraft is now owned by his wife and is flown to many airshows around the country by Mr. Dale Snodgrass. Keep watching this space for specifics about the exact arrival date when an arrival ceremony will be held. “
