EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the United States Air Force's (USAF) Republic F-84D-1-RE Thunderjet, specifically serial number 48-00649 (Buzz no FS-649-A) of the 82nd Fighter Squadron, in action during the late 1940s. The image is believed to have been taken around 1949, with the 82nd Fighter Squadron being part of the 78th Fighter Group at the time. The Thunderjet, a single-engine, all-weather tactical fighter aircraft, was a successor to the P-80 Shooting Star and was widely used by the USAF and several other air forces around the world. The Thunderjet in this photograph wears the distinctive markings of the USAF and shows the aircraft in flight, likely on a training mission. However, the image takes on a more somber tone as it is known that on 3 September 1949, this very same aircraft, 48-00649, crashed while landing at Dow Air Force Base in Maine. The cause of the accident is unknown, but it serves as a reminder of the risks and challenges faced by the brave men and women who flew these powerful machines during the formative years of jet aviation. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of military aviation in the United States and the crucial role that the USAF and its pilots played in the development and deployment of advanced aircraft technology during the 1940s. The Thunderjet, with its sleek design and impressive performance, remains an iconic symbol of the era and continues to captivate aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
