Very nice presentation, thank you!

The F-86 never suffered from the Sabre dance, that was the F-100 Super Sabre

[@roba6660able]

You are totally correct. It was the F 100.

[@thomasharroun8068]

F-100 had yaw instability in certain flight conditions, which produced inertia coupling

[@billpugh58]

@@thomasharroun8068 that wasn’t the Sabre dance.

[@thomasharroun8068]

The F-84 was outperformed by the MiG-15, which was both faster and more manoeuvrable and thus the the MiG-15 counter-air mission was soon given to the F-86 Sabre. Thus the F-84 switched roles to ground attack for which it excelled. This was a good combination for the airforce to have both suitable air to air with F-86 and air to ground with F-84. The F-84 was a fine gun platform with highly accurate gunnery and bombing capabilities. Pilots praised the F-84 for its ruggedness.

F-84's were also used for the wingtip coupling concept experiment with a B-29 bomber

My favorite 50’s jet…

1984? That's a long service life indeed.😳

It was actually the british Royal Navy and NOT the U.S. Navy who came up with the idea of angled flight decks and steam catipults.

[@robertsanders5355]

I had often wondered how would the swept wing version and the recon version with nose guns would have been with the Mig 15. Just a thought, i have no recollection of any dual with these version against a Mig 15.

[@wideseen]

Fantastic footage, fantastic story! But why the all-american obtrusive music???? The footage is so much stronger on its own!!!

[@darrellevans5027]

My grandfather flew these.

[@Dronescapes]

Bless him!

[@j.scottmcdonough562]

What was that one photo with a P47 on a aircraft carrier about?

[@dougwickstrom9870]

P-47s were delivered by carrier to Pacific islands.

[@HughBond-kx7ly]

I know this is mainly abou the F84 but the F86 had no more gun armament than a P40 orP51 and the Mig 15 had three heavy calibre cannons so i think the Mig 15 had the edge over the F86.

[@edwardpate6128]

The MiG's cannons were primarily designed to shoot down American bombers like the B-29. While powerful they had a slow rate of fire and did not carry a lot of ammo. That made hitting a target like a fighter more difficult but if you did get hit by one it was deadly.

[@ronaldschoolcraft8654]

That's Strategic Air Command, not Special Air Command.

[@BliskeroidPlays]

Now you have to add the mig15-17

[@pedalingthru2719]

What is a f-51 ? I have never seen one.

[@charlesstauffer9831]

A P 51 after the Air Force changed its designation of Pursuit aircraft to Fighter aircraft.

[@ostrich67]

An F-51 is what a P-51 was called in Korea. The USAF, founded in 1947, changed the designation from P for Pursuit to F for Fighter that year. A Mustang in USAF markings can properly be called an F-51. But few people are that pedantic, so either one is fine.

[@leechgully]

Wasn't it mainly Russian pilots flying the mig15s rather than Chinese as narrrated ?

[@Idahoguy10157]

Initially Soviet pilots were required. Chinese/Korean pilots were trained to handle jets. All this took time. I don’t know that the Russians have shared numbers and percentages of Soviet pilots flying throughout the war.

[@melvinjohnson2074]

Canon fodder for the Mig-15 in Korea.

[@Roydon777]

First get to get arial fight

Death trap. Nobody liked flying it

Big names for really weak fighters.
