Saw news video of a retired F-86 Sabre of Pakistan Air Force (PAF) surrounded by some supporters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) at a rally today. Some of them can be seen sitting/standing on the aircraft.
Probably it's Canadair CL-13B Sabre Mk 6 (serial# 1797) on display in Mianwali. Canadair CL-13B Sabre Mk 6 was designated as F-86E Sabre in PAF.
Hope tailplane of this retired warbird did not suffer any damage.

Saw it again in a news report recorded today. It's PAF F-86E Sabre serial number 1794.
Before joining PAF, this aircraft flew for Luftwaffe.
