Informations supplémentaires

A Korean War-era vintage F-84F jet fighter aircraft on display at a VFW Post in West Chicago, Illinois. Although it entered service in 1947, the Thunderjet was not considered fully operational until the 1949 F-84D model and the design matured only with the definitive F-84G introduced in 1951. In 1954, the straight-wing Thunderjet was joined by the swept-wing F-84F Thunderstreak fighter and RF-84F Thunderflash photo reconnaissance aircraft. The F-84 was the first production fighter aircraft to use in-light refueling and the first fighter capable of carrying a nuclear weapon. In all, 7, 524 F-84 units were built. The aircraft was the principal fighter-bomber used during the Korean War.
