The Republic F-84F Thunderstreak is an American swept-wing turbojet-powered fighter-bomber developed by republic aviation in the late 40's/ early 50's. The design was originally intended to be a relatively simple upgrade to the F-84 Thunderjet to make it more competitive with the F-86 Sabre, differing largely in the use of a swept-wing and tail. Given the small number of changes, it was assigned the next model letter in the F-84 series, F. The prototypes demonstrated a number of performance and handling issues. Uniquely, the F variant had a cockpit that opened from 2 hydraulic arms that pushed it up and then backwards, rather than the previous F-84 variants that used a sliding canopy. Armament: 2 AN-M65 1000lb bombs, 6 AN/M3 50cal machine guns. AG1 For cockpit.
