The CAC Sabre, also known as the CA-27, was an Australian jet fighter aircraft. It was designed and built by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) in the 1950s. The Sabre was based on the North American F-86 Sabre fighter, and was produced under licence from North American Aviation. The Sabre was the first jet fighter to be operated by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), and was used in a number of conflicts, including the Vietnam War. The aircraft was retired from service in the 1980s and replaced by the F/A-18 Hornet.
