Pakistan Air Force Canadair CL-13B Mk 6 Sabre (Serial - 1705).

It was photographed at Peshawar in March 1980, shortly before the type was retired from service.

The Canadair CL-13B Sabre Mk 6 (PAF designation: F-86E) was one of the most capable variants of the iconic F-86 Sabre family. Pakistan acquired approximately 90 ex-Luftwaffe (German Air Force) Mk 6s via Iran in 1966 as a stop-gap after the 1965 arms embargo.
