    1. Both the Mig15 and F86 were designed using data from the Germans so it's not surprising that they are similar. I find it odd that the edge of the aileron is not parallel to the airflow.

  6. It always looked right. Only needs one thing. Stuff the highest performance engine possible in one, use a massive afterburner can, after stripping it of everything not required to fly, like to see that. Make an awesome low level acrobat jet
