An F-86F Sabre dedication plaque sits in Risner Circle at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Dec. 18, 2018. After the first Combined Air Festival in 1980, the Japanese and American base commanders decided to use the F-86 as a symbol of the Japan-U.S. friendship. Service members from Hamamatsu Air Base, Japan, dissembled the aircraft and it arrived at Misawa AB on July 3, 1981, to be reassembled and displayed. Engraved on this plaque is the statement, “This aircraft is dedicated to the friendship between the Japanese and American peoples. May it live forever.” (U.S. Air Force photo)
