Citat:U.S. Air Force - Republic YF-84F THUNDERSTREAK (A/C 92430)
Description: Attached Republic Aviation description reads, "THE PRETTIEST support fighter, loaded-to-the-hilt with bombs or rockets, or both, streaking by overhead to blast enemy positions ahead, is the "prettiest sight in the world".
These infantry-engineers, on a training mission, received a preview of things to come as the USAF's new swept-wing fighter, the Republic F-84F Thunderjet, loaded with inert 1000-lb. bombs and five-inch rockets, passed overhead during the flight tests.
