The F-86D Sabre was a jet that made its debut in 1947 for the United States with an estimated cost of $219,500. Now that’s a considerable amount of money for that time period which would equate to millions in today’s times. But as you’ll see as this list goes on high cost is a common thing when dealing with these speeds. While in a dive the F-86D Sabre was able to reach speeds of 716mph in 1953.
