| Jack L Gilbert Rio Rancho, NM | The F-84F was originally designated as the YF-96A, but, in order to obtain funding for the project, the USAF re-designated it as the F-84F. This was done to help grease the skids in congress, because it was felt that it would be easier to convince the good politicians to pay for an updated version of an existing design than to get them to fund an entirely new aircraft. 02/07/2009 @ 06:54 [ref: 23657] |
