REPUBLIC F-84E-31RE/F-84G-RE THUNDERJET

(unfortunately photography at Danish Air Force bases was in the fifties and sixties STRICTLY dis-encouraged so only few pictures taken by individuals can be found. Because of this I have only been able to find approx. 25% of the aircraft flown and of these only a handful has been taken by “civilians”.)
