SABRE is the callsign used by the depot folks at Tinker when  they return an 
aircraft after rework. The callsign usually gives away the  aircraft type as 
SABRE 52 is usually a B-52 while SABRE 35 is a KC-135. When I  lived on the end 
of Barksdale's runway I heard SABRE 52 about once per month  when they were 
picking up or dropping off a BUFF.
