| S/Sgt Cloyd E. Greer, e-mail, 17.09.2010 00:55 I was a member of the 27th Fighter Escort Wing and worked in the 4015th maintence Dock as a A /C mech.
the 27th was first to fly thuinder jets in Korea 1950-51 reply | | GARY BEDINGER, 22.07.2010 07:01 YES,THE F-84 WAS THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE'S FIRST JET FIGHTER TO SEE ACTUAL COMBAT DURING THE KOREAN WAR FROM 1950 UNTIL 1953.THE BEST ALL AROUND F-84 VARIANT WAS THE F-84f "THUNDERSTREAK". reply | | Tom Stopski, e-mail, 18.02.2010 21:00 I flew the F84G model in gunnery school at Luke, AFB, AZ in 1953...a very stable aircraft..great firing platform and a pleasure to fly. Later at Langley AFB flew the F84F model...a totally differnt aircraft....always felt like I was directing it while it took me for a ride, however, for the mission we were assigned, nuke delivery, it performed well enough. Also found out that it was a well built airframe if you had to put one down other than on a runway! reply | | JERRY THOMPSON, e-mail, 19.01.2010 02:16 Poor display of this aircraft, picture is of F-84g, and 3-view is a F-84F, a completely differant plane. Should have covered both airplanes. reply | |
