Fotogalerij van een Republiek F-84 Thunderjet, The Republic F-84 Thunderjet was an American turbojet fighter-bomber aircraft. Originating as a 1944 United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) proposal for a “day fighter”, the F-84 first flew in 1946. Although it entered service in 1947, the Thunderjet was plagued by so many structural and engine problems that a 1948 U.S. Air Force review declared it unable to execute any aspect of its intended mission and considered canceling the program. The aircraft 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 Republic F-84 Thunderjet was a jet-powered fighter-bomber developed by Republic Aviation in the late 1940s. It was one of the first US fighters to have a swept-wing design and to carry a nuclear weapon. The F-84 Thunderjet saw extensive action during the Korean War, where it performed ground-attack missions and air-to-air combat.
The F-84 Thunderjet had its origins in a 1944 proposal by Republic Aviation for a “day fighter” powered by a turbojet engine. The initial design was based on the P-47 Thunderbolt, but it proved too bulky and heavy for the new propulsion system. A new design with a slimmer fuselage, a nose-mounted air intake, and a rear-mounted engine was developed and flew for the first time in 1946.
The F-84 Thunderjet entered service with the US Air Force in 1947, but it faced many technical problems and delays. The early models had structural weaknesses, engine failures, and poor performance at high altitudes. It was not until the F-84D model of 1949 that the Thunderjet became fully operational and reliable. The F-84G model of 1951 introduced a more powerful engine, an autopilot system, and the capability to carry a Mark 7 nuclear bomb.
De F-84 Thunderjet werd veel gebruikt door NAVO-landen als onderdeel van het Military Assistance Program (MAP). Het werd ook geëxporteerd naar verschillende andere landen, zoals Griekenland, Turkije, Iran en Taiwan. De F-84 Thunderjet was het belangrijkste aanvalsvliegtuig van de Amerikaanse luchtmacht tijdens de Koreaanse oorlog, vloog meer dan 86.000 vluchten en vernietigde 60% van alle gronddoelen. Het schoot ook acht door de Sovjet-Unie gebouwde MiG-jagers neer in lucht-luchtgevechten.
The F-84 Thunderjet was retired from active service in 1957, but it continued to serve with some air forces until the 1970s. It was also used for several experimental projects, such as the FICON and Tom-Tom dockings with bomber motherships, and the XF-84H Thunderscreech turboprop. The F-84 Thunderjet was succeeded by the F-84F Thunderstreak and the RF-84F Thunderflash, which had swept wings and improved performance.
