This aircraft that is displayed here was delivered to the Belgian Air Force on 29 May 1958. It entered service with the 31st Squadron of the 10th Wing in Kleine Brogel. The complete travel story and list of defects can be read on the information board on site.
Finally, in 1983, the aircraft was given its place here at the Aeroclub of Keiheuvel.

Technical: The Thunderjet F-84F is a decent aircraft. The Republic F-84F Thunderstreak is an American-made turbojet fighter-bomber. The aircraft is the successor to the F-84G Thunderjet. Although the Thunderstreak is relatively fast, it has difficulty reaching that speed in an acceptable time. Carrying bombs also reduces acceleration considerably, so players must take a light fuel load to compensate for the weight. The six nose-mounted 12.7mm machine guns are adequate for ground attacks, but engaging enemy aircraft can be frustrating due to the lack of sufficient stopping power. Overall, the F-84F Thunderstreak is a fairly decent attack aircraft.
