Default New Arrival North American Rockwell Saberliner

This is an unusual aircraft type. I used to service these aircraft many years ago when I worked on the ramp at a local FBO in Calgary. They are pretty ugly, but what a neat aircraft with many features not found on other corporate aircraft. Pilots just loved flying them.

I had been looking for this model for several years. There are plenty of the Navy T-39's around, but this was the first civilian version of this model I had ever found. I have posted it on my website. (place curser on slideshow to stop)

Hey Noel,

Pretty cool Topping/Precise model. I have the most common USN version.


Cheers

That's a great looking model you have there Noel. Love the Caravelle type passenger windows. Very much a design of its time.

Neil.

With all the other features such as air brake and free fall slats, it was ahead of it's time in many ways. Neat airplane.
