F-84B

31.7k NecoArcBubbles  8.6 years ago

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.

    So basically we become like one person and make different aircraft each week. We can work it out

    Sounds like a good idea, but could you elaborate a bit on the "joining together" part? @SeriousFlipper4

    We are both silver players and I was thinking joining together? We both produce great aircraft and Military designs so what do you think
