| Bruce Craig , OR | CORRECTED:
The "RF-84K" photo by Jason Hue is not a "K" rather being an RF-84F. K-series (25 planes serials 52-7254 to 52-7278) has anhedral elevators, aircraft in this photo does not have anhedral elevators. Serial number not visible so F-84F model/block not available. 08/07/2006 @ 16:19 [ref: 13822] |
