Posted: Sat Apr 11, 2009 6:54 amGood morning all... 
Little known fact Big Truck that:
When the Navy Avaitors of the Royal Canadian Navy landed at a Royal Canadian Air Force Station which operated F86 Sabres after a few wobbly pops and enough bets were made the contest was on.
The bet was to have a Sea Fury and a F86 side by side for take off and to see who would reach 6000ft

The "smoke system" may have just been water injection for added power.......a nice touch for some of the radial engines, from the war years.......

I dunno, it was coming directly out of the exhaust and he was the only bird with any type of "smoke display" on while they flew (he flew with a Yak 3 and the two P-51's)

If you look carefully at shots 4 & 5 the smoke is coming from only one exhaust port on each side. That would seem to indicate an onboard smoke system for display purposes.
