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.
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. Al_in_Ottawa
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
classic.
ReplyDelete...funny how the 86 and the 15 looked so alike.
