[ARC5] This Is Interesting!

The FJ was probably the same as the F-86 of that period.

At the time I was a Gunsight/Radar tech in the USAF. The F-86 and F-84 of 
that period had the Sperry A-4 gunsight and APG-30 radar. The Grumman navy 
fighters of that period had the same. I would expect the FJ had the same 
stuff.
