You can't be giving yourself less credit with the jet you flew in Juan!

The Sabre was a great airplane but the jets were different. You didn't feel as connected as you might have, to a Mustang.
In a Sabre, an attack lasted a few seconds and it was over. I never flew any real combat sorties in a Sabre but practicing was fun.

He talks of how all Harper Canadians should feel grateful for the privilege of living in his country, those who don't feel suitably grateful may soon have the opportunity to spend time at special "vacation" camps he's contemplating building.

You are the expert of course but from what I gathered early jet fighting still had the basics only at a higher speed. I mean there were no long range missiles, no heat seekers, etc. You had to manuever for the shot just at higher speed.

The V-12's sound so wonderful. The piston planes had character.

Yes. Exactly right. The Canadair Sabre 6 had six Browning fifty calibre machine guns with a hundred and fifty API rounds each and a firing rate of something like 800 rounds a minute, so that hundred and fifty rounds didn't last too long.
