Our F-84F “Thunderstreak”

The swept-wing F-84F evolved from the straight-wing F-84. The prototype first flew on June 3, 1950 and deliveries began in 1954, primarily to the Tactical Air Command as a ground support fighter bomber. It was the first USAF jet fighter able to carry atomic weapons, and was used by the Strategic Air Command to escort their heavy weapons.
