The 1949 F-84F Thunderstreak was a development of the F-84E Thunderjet, equipped with a more powerful engine and backswept wings. After many initial difficulties the F-84F mutated into a completely new aircraft, until in 1954 there were 450 in completion. Of the F-84Fs built under the MDAP (Mutual Defence Assistance Programme), ultimately almost half went to a variety of NATO air forces including to the newly formed Federal German Air Force. On 24th September 1956 the first flying unit to put three F-84F Thunderstreaks into operation was the air force weapons training school 30 at Fürstenfeldbruck near Munich. In total the Federal German armed forces received 450 machines, the last of which left JaboG 34 fighter-bomber squadron in December 1966. During its career the F-84F proved to be a very versatile aircraft, but it had its problems (high landing speed and long take-off distance). The F-84F was also the standard aircraft of that time in Belgium and the Netherlands. | |
