On display at the Castle Air Museum, California, and good to see an F-84F Thunderstreak painted in SAC markings. In fact she is lucky to be here, when retired from the Virginia ANG she was sent to be a target on the China Lake Ranges.

Back to the 26th June 1988 and the Chievres Open House in Belgium, I managed to get a shot of this awesome Republic F-84F Thunderstreak which was on display within the base. She was FU-33 coded '3R-B'.
Belgian Air Force (ex-USAF) F-84F preserved at a roundabout, in the small village of Vodecée, where the roads N98 & N97 meet. The aircraft points into the direction of the gate of its former airbase: Florennes AFB.
Valentines Day 1987 and my first MASDC Photographer's Tour, walking along the 'Display Row'. This was another relic from the past, a Republic F-84F Thunderstreak last operated by the 101st TFS / 102nd TFW Massachusetts ANG out of Otis AFB.
This Thunderstreak was in service with the Belgian Air Force between 1957 and 1972. Since 2002 this Thunderstreak is preserved at Leopoldsburg airport.
