Thunderflash and Thunderstreak Photo Topic

Post by bingo20 »

As a special favour to the somewhat older viewers among us I would like to dedicate a topic to the - in my opinion -
most impressive fighter-bomber ever built : the Republic F-84F Thunderstreak. 180 examples of this type of aircraft served with the Dutch military from 1955 to 1971.
Enjoy the photos you are about to see! :o :o

We will start off with a picture of two 314 squadron Thunderstreaks , parked on their dispersal at Eindhoven AB in 1967

Hi Hans,

I will scan some more negatives.

The only thing/rule is, that once you started your topic with this name, you should add comments and/or pictures to the last post, instead of starting a new one. :idea:
But the moderator will do this I presume, like he earlier already did.
Gr,

Rob Martaré.

Combined the topics again. Makes it easier for the visitors to follow this topic, which they will probably do because it is very interesting and a nice addition to this board!

Keep scanning and posting please :-)

Greetings,
Stefan
