Lets test you more.........Mig15 Korean war.....Are you ready for this Q: Why did the F86 pack a less 'punch firepower' than the Mig15?

Moot point; I believe the peter had 6 x 0.5 in machine guns but the Mig had a couple of cannon; one 27mm and one other slightly smaller.

Your right about the 86 but your half wrong with the Mig15 cannon.

Thought the Mig was 37mm. The russians also seemed to love 23mm

Thanks Mel - I'll hazard a guess at the Grumman Guardian?

Better with airframes than cockpits, but when I first looked at it I thought the pic of the Guardian was actually a modified fire-bombing Avenger. Any commonality between the two?
