Mitsubishi F-86F Sabre

The F-86 Sabre, also known as the Sabrejet, is a transonic jet fighter aircraft originally produced by North American Aviation. In Japan, the F-86 was licensed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, who produced it for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force in the 1950s. Due to its popularity and frequent use by the JASDF, the F-86 Sabre was featured in numerous kaiju films produced by Toho in the Showa series, making its debut in the 1954 film Godzilla. Most Sabrejets that have appeared in kaiju films are of the 'F' model, referred to by the JASDF as the Rising Sunbeam (旭光 Kyokkō).
