FSX Republic F-84F 110th TFS Missouri ANG

This is a repaint of the SSW Republic F84F Thunderstreak to represent an F-84F-49-RE, 52-6616 'Boots IV' of the 110th Fighter Squadron, 131st Fighter Wing, Missouri ANG. During the 1961/2 Berlin Wall crisis the unit was deployed to Toul-Rosieres AB in France. Unusually for the time, many 110th FS aircraft carried names. It also carries the unit commanders stripes, reflected in the name on the left-hand canopy rail, Maj. John D. Connaghan. The crew chief, is given as T/Sgt Joe Dubuque who served with the 110th, though whether he crewed this particular aircraft is not known. No record of its fate exists; it last served with the 164th TFS, Ohio ANG and most probably ended up at AMARC where it was scrapped. By Dave Quincey.
