And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Is the lower tail number of the near F-86 indicative of a flight leader or squadron commander? Or is it likely the only surviving jet from the original deployment? Or am I just stupid?
They were mix and match. They might have sent one back for maintenance, and gotten the older one as a replacement. Or the newer ones could all be replacements for earlier models that weren't so lucky.
AS a kid drawing my stick figure humans I drew those jets. I still have them around here somewhere thanks to my late mom. She never tossed anything and all her kids have the same issue......
I love me some Sabers !!!

My cousin was killed by one of these, Darwin Harbour 1963. Came out of a steep dive and the wings broke off the heap of shit.

Earlier models. Leading edge wing slats done away with on the 'F' Model.

Wonder if the red engine intake crawling on the middle on means anything..?
