Republic F-84F 110th TFS Missouri ANG.zip 2024-06-04

This is a repaint of the excellent SSW Republic F-84F Thunderstreak to represent an F-84F-49-RE, 52-6616 'Boots IV' of the 110th Fighter Squadron, 131st Fighter Wing, Missouri ANG. During the 1961/2 Berlin Wall crisis this unit was deployed to Toul-Rosieres AB in France and the repaint depicts the aircraft as it appeared then. Unusually for the time, many 110th FS aircraft carried names. It also carries the unit commander's stripes, reflected in the name on the left-hand canopy rail, Maj. John D. Connaghan. The crew chief, is given as T/Sgt Joe Dubuque who served with the 110th, though whether he crewed this particular aircraft is not known. No record of its fate exists; it last served with the 164th TFS, Ohio ANG and most probably ended up at AMARC where it was scrapped.
