Welcome aboard the classic Sabreliner 65! This is an airplane I have admired for years and I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to fly it, and even better bring you guys along for the ride. We fly from cold and rainy Salt Lake City, Utah to Concord, California and discuss some of the history and features of this classic bird. Thank you to Eric for the opportunity and mentorship on this major bucket list experience! I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I did.

Love the co-pilot, got that ain't-letting-this-thing-kill-me-today focus that you love to see in a cockpit.

How great to see one of these in regular use. My first jet job was with a small company in Kentucky that operated a 60 and a 65. Great memories of large fun!

Thanks for bringing us along, beautiful jet. Thanks Eric for the history of the Sabreliner and helping to keep them in the air. (a piece of GA and military flying history)

In early 1966 I flew on a Sabreliner from Torreon AB Madrid, Spain to RAF Lakenheath, UK on leave. Was fun being chauffeured by two majors doing what was called in the Air Force at that time "Circling the Flagpole." Pilots flying desks had to have 4 hours flying time to qualify for flight pay for the month, hence the Sabreliner and the two majors, flying from Germany to Spain to the UK and back to Germany. The grand tour as one pilot told me. And flying me and a soldier from Ft Lewis, Washington was considered essential use of the plane.

@paulmcmahon646 4 дня назад

They were the lucky ones. My Dad was a Marine jet aviator who had a desk job in Mildenhall from 69-71. He flew C-47 for flight pay.

@user-hf4kw5ft8s 6 дней назад

I was lucky enough to fly the Sabre 40A for 8 months. Attended school in St. Louis and it was my first jet. It was so forgiving. I felt bad for the Air Force guys. Their airplanes had no reverse, thrust reverser, anti skid brakes and radar. The owner thought it was too small so he bought a Jetstar. Attended school in Marietta, GA. A wonderful second jet and it kept me out of trouble as well. Thanks so much for bringing back some memories!

@tailhookmd2546 5 дней назад

This is insane… my dad flew Sabreliners in between flying jets in the USAF. I don’t remember the circumstances. I remember him saying he loved that jet!

@suecobandito8954 6 дней назад

U of U grad here. USMC KC-130 A/C ATP. Retired. Thought I recognized SLC. T-39 Sabreliner-used to be known as the school bus for the blind-USN trainer for NFO's. Great plane. Flies high/fast. Remember if one could build a runway long enough North American could make a plane that would not take off from it. Flew T-28B's back in the day.

@Suncast45 5 дней назад

In Vietnam 1969 I was assigned to ramp patrol 377th Security Police. I was startled one day to see a T39 taxing by with 4 stars on the right front glass. General George Brown arriving from the Phillipines. Nothing special but a fond memory!

Very cool that this beauty is still flying. Thanks for taking us along.

@christophergagliano2051 4 дня назад

Nice video, my dad who was a major when he was stationed at WP AFB got checked out in the t-39 and he became one of the favorite pilots on the base. He was known for getting the mission done with as little outside assistance as possible. A little known fact about the T-39 is that aircraft didn't have an autopilot so you had to hand fly that thing across the United States sometimes at night, sometimes in the weather sometimes with a cranky general that didn't like the fact he had to make his own coffee lol

Cool to see this old-timer with updated engines, cabin, and panel. Yours must be ex-AF. The Navy ones were not so plush. I had hoped to fly one but didn't make it through flight school.

Back in the 70s, as a teen who loved airplanes I walked across a hangar door and saw a lovely airplane parked inside. I immediately recognized it from the pages of aviation magazines, and as I had never seen it up close, I stood there for a moment, admiring it. An engineer spotted me at the door, and a little in jest, challenged me: _"hey kid, I'll bet you won't know what this is"._ To which I replied, _"It's a Rockwell Sabreliner 60, and I have never come this close to one before"._ That broke the ice. He invited me into the hangar, showed me the airplane, and a few years later I even did maintenance manual translations to Portuguese for this airplane's mechanics. I even got to help them out by talking with Rockwell's customer support over the phone, as the the maintenance crew were not that proficient in English.

@tjwtrumpet 6 дней назад

Owen - love the videos, Could we maybe get a rundown of all of the planes that you are current and qualified to fly and if possible the amount of hours that you have in each? Your career is amazing and quite enviable. My brother retired a few years back as a Captain in 787's for Continental United. He has well over 30,000 hours total flying time, and he did it all himself. No military, no college, just started off as a line boy in our local FBO and worked his way up from there.

In 1972 I had my private commercial and instrument. I flew a 172 to my grandad’s funeral. On the ramp in Akron was a saberliner. I had someone take a photo of me taken in front of it! I was an aspiring airline pilot, so this was so cool to me. Oddly enough, I never flew any corporate jets, as I got hired by a major airline at age 25. 40 year career, old now, retired now, and it’s still a memorable photo👍🏻 Jetstar and Westwinds were cool too!

@mat1500 6 дней назад

Kind of Bittersweet memory brought back from while I was is sitting at white consolidated Cleveland, Chief Pilots desk, Bob Sheriff, about finished signing as new hire to fly their Sabre liner in 1978, when phone call came in to Bob who's head went downcast, after getting off phone, he told me that had been the president of the company on the phone telling him to fire the pilots and sell the two aircraft as they were closing the flight Department. During the latest recession of the era after exploring couple of other opportunities decided to quit Aviation. At least I finally get to see an idea of what I missed in my Aviation career, I had known it was a great aircraft. Really great to have a virtual flight to see something so close in my career, butt for corporate economics. That was definitely rewarding.

@davidmangold1838 День назад

Sorry to hear that Mat. I know there have been many corporate flight departments shut down/sell the plane. I just hope most went on to bigger things. Doesn’t happen as often anymore, as there are more rich people, rich corporations and hedge fund owned, jet operators.

@JoeSmith-nu8oo 6 дней назад

I flew on one of these in the Air Force(T-39) it was configured for testing the ILS landing system. One day in Italy the aircraft wouldn't pressurize and we had to fly over the mountains at FL120 on the downwind to base, the pilots were hugging the mountainside to stay as low as possible even though we were only at that altitude for a brief minute or so.I think they had their mask on anyway.

@reverett0508 3 дня назад

They used to build those south of St. Louis in a town called Perryville, MO. I worked ambulance there in the early 80s and we had to stand by for all first flight test of the Sabreliner. A lot of them were going to military but in 1981-1983 a good bit were going to private buyers. Got to walk thru one that going to some Saudi prince. Pretty sweet. I asked the rep what that one was selling for and he said 1.2 mil. Shocking price at the time.

@TampaPete 6 дней назад

I flew the Sabreliner Simulator at TWA in the 1980’s for my TWA pilot interview! I thought it was a bit Squirrley! It didn’t have instruments like the one you have here they were very old. Anyway I got a letter back from TWA to get more flight time and reapply. I applied to American Airlines was hired in two weeks!

Owen Beautiful flight from start to finish and what a nice classic Sabreliner ! Sabreliner has always been one of my favorite jets as they are built like a tank and just continue to fly on. I also love the Westwind and enjoy watching video on either of these brands. A friend had a Sabreliner 40 years back and it was so reliable and made travel so easy. Thanks again to you and Eric for a great flight.
