Now and Then...

All y'all who frequent milblogs... especially those run by Naval Aviators... are probably familiar with videos produced by those talented folks in our nation's carrier air wings.

The notes accompanying the vid on YouTube:
One of the first Air Force Squadron made videos about the arrival of the "new" North American F-86 Sabre jet. This was made by the 526th FIS (Fighter Interceptor Squadron),"The Black Knights".
