The Thunderflash was the first jet to be developed specifically to fill a reconaissance role. The Luftwaffe received 102 examples that served until 1965-66 when they were replaced by the RF-104G Starfighter. This particular example served with the USAF 66th TRW as 52-7436 at Sembach before being transferred to the Luftwaffe AG-52 and ending up at the Luftwaffenmuseum der Bundeswehr at Gatow.
