With the "late" (NATO) camo, that aircraft is fantastic...

As with all early jets, I prefer this one in NMF (not counting mottling, actually :)))

Many F-84F and RF-84Fs were assigned to Air National Guard units near where I grew up. Many were given to local communities to be mounted in various ways. Here are a couple of photos of some I've photographed over the years:

This first one is at Coffeyville, Kansas at a little museum on the site of the first municipal airport:

Creighton, Nebraska. I took this photo in 1977 or '78 and the airplane is still in the park, well maintained and intact.

Ellen took this picture of me in the cockpit that day--I still had hair then! ;)
