So I'm probably late to the party here, but for those who haven't seen this, I just came across historicaerials.com (http://www.historicaerials.com/), and I've been spending a ridiculous amounts of time looking at stuff. Check out Republic back in 1953; I mean, I knew they pumped out jets, but until you see the big picture of what it actually was...damn.

Nice link, thanks for sharing. I see what you mean by all of the jets, probably well over a hundred in that picture.
