Sabre to fly
Date: 3 April 2000
It has been made official that the Sabre will be at Swartkop on the 15th April where she will make her debut at the Airshow. During her bench tests at Denel, she put out 46 lbs. more thrust than the initial specification.
The Sabre did its maiden flight on Thursday 30 March, piloted by Colonel Des Barker of the Test Flight and Development Centre. Once she has completed her flight tests, she will go back to Denel for her re-spray, however we aren't sure when that will be, or what her colour scheme and tail number is going to be yet.
