Education; History:“Testing the Republic Thunderjet" Part One In the case of the P-84 Thunderjet, for example, the Army Air Forces called for a jet fighter with certain characteristics and performance qualities. Flight-testing the Thunderjet has been the responsibility of a handful of us, since the airplane was first taken to Muroc Army Air Base for its initial bow. If the General Electric engineers and production men did their job in producing a powerplant with the guaranteed amount of thrust, our engineers and production men were betting that the Thunderjet would meet all performance guarantees plus or minus one or two percent. www.aeromuseum.org /Articles/Feb05/ThunderJetPartOne.htm   (1218 words)

Italeri 1/72 F-84F Thunderstreak It is often said that the Republic F-84 family of fighters spanning Thunderjet, Thunderstreak, Thunderceptor and Thunderflash best represents the transition of the piston age to the defining jet age, when the Century Series of fighters were produced and not forgetting the P-47 Thunderbolt as the start of such a venture. The F-84 Thunderjet was also the first aircraft ever to be used by the American flight demonstration team, the Thunderbirds which commenced in 1953, and from 1955-1956 F-84F Thunderstreaks flew 91 shows before being replaced by F-100 Super Sabres. As with the straight wing Thunderjet's the F-84F's performance as a fighter was disappointing so it was relegated to ground attack sorties where all F-84 types excelled. www.fortunecity.com /meltingpot/portland/971/Reviews/50s/f-84f-mb.htm   (2438 words)

p84.6 The F-84E was the version that equipped most of the six USAF wings using Thunderjets when the Korean War began. Perhaps the two most spectacular Thunderjet operations of the Korean War were the attacks on the Toksan irrigation dam on May 13, 1953, and the raid on the Chusan irrigation dam three days later.

F-84 Thunderjet units over Korea Though it was able to hold its own with a Mig-15 in a dogfight, and several were shot down by Thunderjet pilots, it was carrying ordnance that made the reputation of the F-84.

I found it particularly fascinating that the initial wing deployed to Korea, the 27th FEW was not a fighter-bomber wing but one that specialized in air to air operations and bomber escort.
