(Sabres could not carry 24 air-to-air anything except gun rounds

Wrong. He was flying the F-86D version. It had no guns, only a belly pack with 24 folding-fin air to air unguided rockets.

I hate being wrong... but you are right.

I was thinking strictly about the Korea config’d models.

The F-86D was indeed an anti-Soviet bomber interceptor.

Fascinating. Using unguided rockets to kill bombers at 500yds with a computer-aided deflection shot.

Oh, DEAR ME, cayuga;

you mean, oh, my, REALLY . . . could you possibly have just documented . . .

is it really POSSIBLE????

I mean are you sure???

You'd better call a press conference . . . are you absolutely sure????

I mean . . . never since the dawn of dirt and time . . . never before has it happened!

Are you sure you weren't dreaming?

Maybe you had a hallucination?

Or maybe Obumma road in on some swamp gas and mangled your memory chips so that you just THOUGHT it was the case that . . .

I mean . . . I didn't know that God and His angels and the powers that be and all the ships at sea

EVER

allowed

ANY

naysayers

to

EVER

be wrong in the slightest.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS, FOLKS! A real historic event right here on FREEREPUBLIC.COM
