Just thought of the F2H Banshee.

I'm not sure what a Banshee is exactly, but it sure sounds cool.

Yeah, I kinda noticed that. Can't deny the similarities though. It was the first plane I thought of when I saw the pic.

Wow, I'm surprised no one has said F-86 SABRE!!!! Awesome name. And it's an awesome sound jet of the early years.

Double post..

Ah yeah! I totally forgot about the Sabre. There was a great episode of dogfights on about it last night. I believe the episode name was "Supersonic", probably one of the better dogfights I've seen actually.
