From 1954 flew with the 31st Strategic FW, Turner AFB, GA and the 401st & 366th FBG, England AFB, LA. Around 1957 transferred to the 170th TFS Illinois ANG, the unit serving in Europe on 24-hour alert. In 1962 this F-84 returned to the US and was later repainted in SE Asia camouflage as the 170th trained pilots for deployment in Vietnam. In 1972 it was struck off along with the rest of the ANG Thunderstreak fleet after wing fatigue had been discovered. Following use as a target on the Eglin ranges, it was helicoptered into the museum in 1972

This F-84F-46-GK was built at Kansas City and TOC with the USAF as 52-8875 and transferred in April 1956 to the AdlA as 28875. The type had been phased out by 1965 and this example came to this wonderful museum in June 1989.

Built in 1945 as FM-2 Bureau Number 86746. The FM-2 was the last version of the Wildcat and had a more powerful engine, the 1350 HP Wright R-1820-56 Cyclone. This required more vertical fin area resulting in the taller tail. The FM-2 was primarily assigned to the CVE carriers operated by the US Navy during WW 2.
