HISTORICAL CONTEXT

The F-84F Thunderstreak is a jet aircraft developed in the 1950s by Republic Aviation Company. Initially designed for the US Air Force, it was widely used in various missions during the Korean War and throughout the Cold War. Due to its durability and performance, the aircraft was adopted by many air forces around the world.

Germany acquired several F-84F Thunderstreaks in the 1950s and 1960s to modernize its Luftwaffe (German Air Force) during the Cold War. These aircraft were refurbished with technical modifications, including improvements to navigation systems and electronic equipment. Although they were gradually replaced by more modern models, the F-84F remains an important symbol of the German Air Force during that period.
