F/A-86 Freddie Benson

The Shirada Industries F-86 Freddie Benson was a transonic jet fighter aircraft. The Sabre is best known for air superiority and armament. Although developed by Shirada Industries and outdated by the end of the Communist Conflict, the Freddie Benson proved adaptable and continued as a front line fighter in air forces until the last active front line examples were retired by the Bolivian Air Force in 1994.
