F-86 Starfighter (I think. Or, maybe it's a Mickey Mouse ride at Disneyland.) Looks like a big engine with stubby wings attached. Six big-assed cannon on either side of forward cowling. Probably not something the Korean MiGs liked to see heading their way.

PS - Crop, replace background. USM. Frame.

Several candidates for 9/1/04:
