The Phantom has the lower rear of the sliding portion of the canopy covered in metal, with a curved lower edge - Banshee has the sliding portion of the canopy fully clear with a nearly straight lower edge.
The Phantom's engines also extend well aft of the wing trailing edge, the Banshee's end short of the wing trailing edge.

North American AJ-2 Savage at Cleveland Ohio - Hopkins International Airport, September 1960.
NASA used three Savages for weightlessness (zero gravity) simulation, including this one, Navy serial 134069.

Mini Buff's. And I'm quite sure that the deployment to England from Why not Minot was a welcome reprieve to the crew's as it would be considerably warmer.

This popped up in my Phantom image search for GB65. Now imagine this with 3 Phantoms on it in 1/144 scale. I have my base for this build.
The planes are F-4; F-111; F-15 and Belgian Mirage.

Never one to be judgmental but, 1/144? ARE YOU TOKING WAKY WEED? Oh sorry that probably came out the wrong way, pay no attention to the previous statement……
Nice idea, no really (for any one who can see them) oh I'm sorry did I just say that out loud?

I am the modeling Hobbit on this forum. My main scale is 1/72 but modern jets or bombers are 1/144. Yes, it is small. It is also cheap cost effective. I don't have a ton of display space. Imagine these jets as the size of a 1/48 cockpit; they are simpler and the parts you get are larger than the parts in modern kits. I follow the 1/48 scale builds and I'm blown away by the nuance that I see all the time. The 1/32 builds, are mystical and I feel the same way about them that you "normal" builders feel about me.

And the F-111 looks fast whilst parked...

Xcept that wing position is only used when parked on the ground.
Still...
One of only a handful of L-26s that went to the USAF; most to the Army and two to the Navy. Famously the smallest aircraft to carry the "Air Force One" callsign.
