Super cool on the top photo, no pun intended. Counting 5 different airframes in that photo!
My father was the armorer for FA-356, photo a few posts above, during the Korean War. IIRC, it was a P-80 converted to T-33 converted to pre-production F-94 sent to Korea with the F-94A's. Before that the 68th Fighter Squadron had F-82's. Dad said they would ride on the wings to the end of the runway to wire the rockets just before take off, then usually have to walk back to the hanger.
He went for a ride one day and his pilot got into a game of chase with two other F-94's, fun until it was realized they were low on fuel. Dad's plane ran out of fuel on the taxiway after landing, the next ran out as he turned off the runway, the last ran out midway down the runway.

Note those prominent ARN-6 ADF directional antennas located between the front and back seats. I have a book on the F-86 that calls it a "light."
