45 TRS was the only USAF squadron to operate the RF-51D in Korea, although the squadron also had regular F-51Ds. The F-51D had camera ports in the rear fuselage and the pilot could also record what he saw using an AN/AMQ-1A voice recorder. B-26 Invaders in the background. From August 1952 the squadron replaced its RF-51Ds with RF-80 Shooting Stars. 44-84778 is listed as written off on 14 October 1952. Photo probably taken at Taegu or Kimpo.
