Another F-86

North American F-86D Sabre
This is an iteration of the F-86 of which I was unaware.  It was the all-weather interceptor version with better radar.  It just does not look like an F-86 to me because its appearance was changed so drastically.  I understand that it was called the YF-95A for a short time

It had one pilot who operated the radar fire control system and flew the plane.  It was the first aircraft to have all rocket armament, see the rocket launcher just below the cockpit and above the fence.  It was also faster than previous F-86's at 715.697 mph.
