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.

I think the Thunderflash was the first really sleek looking jet, since they moved the air intake from the nose to the wing roots so they could put cameras in the nose for recon.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a YRF-84F, note the early canopy. Great picture.

ReplyDeleteCameras? Or radar?
DeleteThe layout screams ME-262. Just move the engines a little farther away from the body.
ReplyDeleteOne of the strongest airframes in history. It sure was a beautiful looking jet.
