In April 2018, an F-86 Saber (for some reason the USAF liked to use the British empire spelling of Sabre) tangled with a MiG-15 (NATO reporting name Fagot [as in the British empire slang for cigarette, not the U.S. slang for somebody living an ‘alternative lifestyle’]) over March Air Reserve Base in California.

I remember when it used to be March Air Force Base, and prior to the creation of the U.S. Air Force (a couple of years before the Korean conflict) it was called March Field by the U.S. Army.
March Air Reserve Base conducts the largest airshow in Riverside County and in April 2018 celebrated 100 years since March Field was established, and 70 years since it became a U.S. Air Force operation.

In March 2018, the same Saber showed up at the Yuma Marine Corps Air Station airshow, Arizona.

The F-86 calls Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, in Arizona, home. The plane is part of the Air Force Heritage Flight Foundation, and Davis-Monthan is home to the Heritage Flight Training Course.

MiGs operating over the United States are privately owned (at least that’s what they tell us).
