A North American F-86 Saber parked in fairly dilapidated condition at the entrance to the airfield. The aircraft was part of the Luftwaffe's first equipment after the war and was in use in the late 1950s and early 1960s. This aircraft probably stopped when the Air Force Museum moved to Berlin Gatow; aircraft of this type were not stationed in Uetersen.
