At first glance it looks like a Republic F-80 shooting star. But not 100% sure on that one.

Second and i think a better guess is the F9F-5 Panther. If anyone else has any better guess please post them because im a little curious as well.

that what i thought too except this one had a recon package installed in the nose
Kinda reminds me of the FD-1 Phantom,but I think the intakes on the Phantom are set too far back.

looks like a P-80, but reminds me of the japanese suicide rocket "Ohka"

OK Shatto I think I found it,It's an RF-84F Thunderflash.
The RF-84F Thunderflash is a single seat single engine reconnaissance aircraft produced by the American manufacturer Republic Aviation Corporation.There were several versions of this plane.REPUBLIC F-84 THUNDERJET / THUNDERSTREAK/RF-84 THUNDERFLASH. The R in the Thunderflash version stands for reconnaissance.
Here is a link to some info. on it.
