In 1954 Greece received the first F-86. The aircraft were not new, but retrofitted, by North American, RAF Canadair CL-13Mk4. These planes equipped the 341, 342 and 343 Squadrons. They remained in service until 1965, when they were replaced by F-5A. The Sabre was the first Greek aircraft that could break the sound barrier in dive. Initially the aircraf remained unpainted, but since 1964 they adopted standard NATO camouflage, while maintaining the lower surface bare metal look. The most famous Greek Sabres were of course those used by the famous Greek “Greek Flame” (1957-1965),which were painted in red, white and blue colors.
