At around 4:05, you call the fighter that you're looking at the F-23. It is actually the newly christened F-35 Lightning II. Just letting you know.
By the way, nice comment on the P-80, or F-80, Shooting Star.
Also, the F-86's rival was the MiG-15, not the MiG-5 or MiG-9.

Thanks, Nike. :) Don't think the glider was for Mars, you'd need a REALLY big wing to carry a man-rated plane. Might have been for an ejection system or something.
