North American F-86 Sabre (N38453)

The civil registration of this Sabrejet ought to reflect the FAA registry, which shows N38453. This would associate it with other photos of this aircraft.

Where does FZA487 come from? Is this Canadair's construction number or manufacturer's production serial?

When I entered the photo information, I entered FU-487, after I hit the submit button it changed it to FZA487 with no input from me. So I did more research at http://www.warbirdregistry.org It’s a
Model: CL-13 Sabre Mk. 6
S/N: RCAF23697
Sorry for any confusion

Gary, thanks for sharing this truly nice photo with us... and certainly no need for any apology... not to worry!

I believe the "FU-487" is an example of USAF "buzz numbers" formerly applied to their aircraft.

The FAA registry shows the Canadair manufacturer s/n as 1487.
