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? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That's a F-86D............The nose was an early radar dome that was tied to it's change in armament from 6 each .50 caliber machine guns to 24 each 2.75 inch rockets that were housed in a rack that lowered down out of the fuselage. They were much more destructive than the .50 Cals and were meant for the Russian long range bomber force.
What is the airplane?
