Limited Edition Certificate has been removed from this model. (DE-SPEC) Clad in metallic-gold paint, the Sabre 6s of the Golden Hawks were an impressive sight. The aerobatic team used the superb handling characteristics and slatted wings of this aircraft to great advantage. The Sabre 6 could execute a 360-degree turn within the runway boundaries of an average airfield, a feat not achievable by most other jets of the period. Sabres used on the Golden Hawks aerobatic team belonged to the Sabre Transition Unit (later 1 (Fighter) Operational Training Unit) of CFB Chatham, New Brunswick.
