The mock scenario utilized a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter from the Gary Army Aviation Support Facility and multiple A-10C Thunderbolt II fighter jets from the 122nd Fighter Wing, Fort Wayne to prepare guardsmen for the safe retrieval of personnel from a downed aircraft inside hostile territory.

I photographed this un-restored F-84F Thunderstreak at the North Carolina Aviation Museum in Asheboro. It is interesting to note that the faded markings are those of Strategic Air Command . I am researching the history of this airplane and will post the results as soon as possible.
The swept-wing F-84F evolved from the straight-wing F-84. The prototype first flew on June 3, 1950, and deliveries began in 1954, primarily to the Tactical Air Command as a ground support fighter bomber. The F-84F was also used by Strategic Air Command as a long range fighter escort for Boeing B-50 Superfortress and Convair B-36 Peacemaker bombers. Republic built 2,112 F-84Fs while General Motors fabricated an additional 599. Of these, 1,301 were delivered to NATO air forces. F-84Fs gradually were replaced by supersonic F-100s in the late 1950s and were turned over to Air National Guard units; however, some F-84Fs were called back to temporary USAF service in the early 1960s due to the Berlin Crisis.
