Make History or Become It

You're a Sabre pilot on patrol over MiG Alley. Suddenly, a MiG-15 rips from behind the clouds and into your sights. You pull back on the trigger, squeezing off burst after burst until the MiG's nothing but a flaming mass of metal plummeting to the ground. You take a moment to catch your breath, when out of the corner of your eye, you see the glint of another MiG. As the traces from its cannons streak past your canopy, you realize there are two ways you can go down in history - as a Sabre Ace or as cannon fodder. Which would you rather be?

A Great Time To Be A Pilot

On June 24, 1950 at 0400 hours, the Korean War began when eight North Korean Army Divisions, supported by Russian-built T-34 tanks, crossed over the 38th parallel into South Korea and laid waste to everything in their path. On June 25, 1950 at 1500 hours, the Korean Air War was initiated when two YAK-9 aircraft dove upon Kimpo Airport in South Korea and proceeded to tear up the field with cannon and machine gunfire. Ah yes, it was a great time to be alive. If you were a pilot that is. That's because the Korean War marked a first in history - all jet dogfights. Of course, as a Sabre pilot trying to lock on a MiG-15 that's going 500 knots, while another MiG uses its cannons to turn your tail into tissue paper, you didn't have much time to celebrate. But now with Sabre Ace, you can put yourself in the pilot seat and experience the absolute bliss of being a combat pilot during the Korean War.

F-86 Sabre
