Tribute to the Flash and the Streak

Post by bingo20 »

I am looking forward to see your Whisky Four Streaks , Rob ! I think yours are sharper than mine !
in the meantime I will proceed with the selection of pictures that I had in mind to show:
frequently Eindhoven AB was visited by Thunderstreaks of other NATO countries such as this one from the Italian Air Force , pictured on August 29th , 1968 . I got the negative of this picture via swopping.

P-170 formed part of the Philips Wonderland expo. in Eindhoven in 1970 , a few days after this particular aircraft was withdrawn from use .

Great stuff guys, just wish I was actively spotting then, but I guess I was still too young :(

Does anyone also happen to have pics of the RF-84F Thunderflash ?

mmm, that makes sence :roll:

But why not rename this to (R)F-84F Thunderstreak/-flash thread ? Then at least it would keep the forum nice and tidy (and life easy for me :lol: )

Ahhh, the nice BAF ones.., loved that camo !
Good thing can you still find a bunch of those in Belgium, real pitty they are scarce up here: as to my records only 15 x F-84F's left and only one RF-84F and it's not even Dutch :(

A good idea to add the Thunderflash to this topic , being the reconnaissance version of the Streak !
I have also got some nice pics of the RF in my archive like this one taken at Soesterberg on March 10,1970.

Nice pictures guys, show the pictures to my dad, former 314 and 311 pilot on the streak, I have a few small pictures of his bellylanding with a F84F, will soon post them here.

I wonder if there is somebody who have pictures of the F84F with a instructor sitting next to the pilot during taxi? What I know is that they did taxitraining with a seat hanging on the right or left side of the cockpit. Is very funny to see.
