About the F-84F Thunderstreak:

The F-84F Thunderstreak was a development of the straight-winged F-84, featuring swept wings and a more powerful engine. Designed for tactical and nuclear strike roles, it became a staple of USAF and NATO air forces during the early Cold War. Though eventually overshadowed by faster aircraft, the Thunderstreak played a key role in post-war aerial operations and deterrence missions.
