The RF-84F is a reconnaissance version of the F-84F, equipped with six internal cameras in the nose and lower front fuselage. Among other modifications, this required a long nose, and splitting the air intake and relocating it to the wing roots. These changes resulted in an aircraft that is significantly different from the standard F-84F (which can also be seen at the Air Park).
