The Republic F-84 Thunderjet was an American turbojet fighter-bomber aircraft. Originating as a 1944 USAAF proposal for a "day fighter", the F-84 first flew in 1946. Although it entered service in 1947, its early life it was plagued by structural and engine problems but with the introduction of the definitive F-84G in 1951 most of these early issues were resolved.
The Thunderjet became the USAF's primary strike aircraft during the Korean War, flying 86,408 sorties and destroying 60% of all ground targets in the war as well as eight Soviet-built MiG fighters. The F-84 also became the first USAF fighter to utilize aerial refueling.
