F-84F in Seminole Valley Park
The Republic F-84F Thunderstreak was an American-built swept-wing turbojet fighter-bomber. While an evolutionary development of the straight-wing F-84 Thunderjet, the F-84F was a new design.
The 132nd Fighter Wing in Des Moines flew the F-84F from 1969-1971.
The 174th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron of the 185th Wing in Sioux City, IA also flew the RF-84F from 1958-1961.
