A rare in flight side by side comparison of two legendary foes over MiG Alley during the Korean War taken by Richard Seaman and the 2006 Chino Air Show. The image is 980 x 668.
Richard Seaman posted this 826 x 705 MiG 15 and F-86 image on his 2006 Nellis Air Show page. The photo is just about halfway down the page.
The 800 x 551 F-86 cockpit photo is posted at Military Factory.
You'll find this 850 x 760 F-86 cockpit diagram at reddit. It's interesting that the canopy-jettison and seat-ejection have separate levers. It would be tragic to panic and fire the seat-ejection first.
The ejection seat diagram is 1452 x 2056 at 200 dpi. It's located at Cybermodeler. They also feature a different military photo each day and access to their DoD archives.
Wikipedia has this 4272 x 2848, 240 dpi revealing image of the inner workings of an F-86.
