Summary edit

Description A U.S. Air Force Republic Republic F-84E-25-RE Thunderjet (s/n 51-492) from the 136th Fighter-Bomber Group in Korea. Note the refueling probe on the drop tank. Operation "High Tide", which saw the first aerial refueled strike missions, began in May 1952 when twelve F-84Es flew non-stop from Japan to bomb targets in North Korea. In the same year, aerial refueled "Fox Peter" operations began flying F-84Gs non-stop across the Pacific. The F-84Es had refuelable outboard tanks that had to be refueled seperately with the "probe-and-drouge"-system, whereas the F-84Gs used the boom-system to refuel all tanks.
