The North American F-86 Sabre (sometimes called the Sabrejet) was a transonic combat aircraft built for the US Air Force. The F-86 was developed in the 1940s following the end of World War II and was one of the most-produced Western jet fighters in the Cold War era. A variant of the F-86 was produced in Canada as the Canadair Sabre and deployed by various NATO Air Forces in addition to Canada. The aircraft was produced in smaller quantities in Australia, Italy and Japan.

The Golden Hawks were a Canadian military aerobatic flying team established in 1959 to celebrate the 35th anniversary or the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and the "Golden" 50th anniversary of Canadian flight, which began with the AEA Silver Dart in 1909. Initially a six-plane team was envisioned as performing for only one year with the F-86 Sabre, but the Golden Hawks were so popular after their single 63-show season that the team was expanded.
