MSgt Neil Greenfield, the North American FJ-2 and FJ-3 Fury was developed from the F-86 Sabre and flown by the USN and the USMC. They looked virtually identical and both had the swept wing configuration.

North American FJ-2/-3 Fury - Wikipedia
The North American FJ-2 and FJ-3 Fury are a series of swept-wing carrier-capable fighters for the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The FJ-2 resulted from an effort to navalize the United States Air Force's F-86 Sabre. These aircraft featured folding wings, and a longer nose landing strut designed to increase angle of attack upon launch and to accommodate a longer oleo to absorb the shock of hard landings on an aircraft carrier deck.

LTC Jason Mackay - I have it book marked. In my travels, I was fortunate to see some obscure planes (and other vehicles) on display at a variety of military installations. I’m generally curious and can get into a variety of rabbit holes when researching random stuff.
If you poke around that site, there’s quite a bit of information regarding displayed airframes.

LTC Jason Mackay - That’s an oddball I haven’t seen in person.
When I was a kid, I saw B-57 on display. Fast forward a few decades, and I was lucky to see one of (I think) the last two or three operational 57s at work during a deployment.
