Republic F-84C Thunderjet (1948-1956) Pima Air and Space Museum, Tucson, Arizona, USA February 21, 2008
The F-84 was so marred with structural and engine issues that the U.S. Air Force concluded, in 1948, that it was “unable to execute any aspect of its intended mission and considered canceling the program”. With the development of the F-84D, the aircraft was considered fully operational.
