Variant of the Republic F-84F "Thunderstreak" fighter, used to test the feasibility of the "parasite fighter" concept. The relatively short range of jet fighters and lack of midair refueling capability in the early 1950s led the Air Force to experiment with modifying B-36 bombers to allow them to carry small fighters in their bellies, in effect allowing the bomber to carry its fighter escort with it. The name "FICON" is an portmanteau of "FIghter CONveyor" as a description of this concept.
Development of midair refueling techniques rendered the parasite fighter concept obsolete, and the Air Force abandoned these programs However, once the general concept proved feasible, a number of Thunderstreaks were converted to the recon role (the "R" in "YRF-84F") and mated to the RB-36 strategic reconnaissance variant of the giant "Peacemaker" bomber. The parasite recon craft extended the operational range of both the RB-36 and RF-84F by allowing the larger aircraft to ferry the smaller one to the operational area and back to base.

Varun Dhawan takes ‘1 Small Step for Cancer’
His favourite co-star Alia Bhatt has collaborated with Coexist to rescue animals and help them and now Varun Dhawan wants to contribute his bit to the society. The actor, who is currently in the midst of promoting his forthcoming film Judwaa 2, has taken a major step to help cancer patients, especially children.
Varun Dhawan is now the face of 1SmallStepforCancer campaign which aims at building emergency fund for child cancer and it was kick started from September 12 onwards. 1SmallStepforCancer is a fundraising campaign by 1SmallStep Foundation is association with Rotary Club of Mumbai Queens Necklace. The goal of 1SmallStepforCancer.com is to raise Rs. 1Cr and help 1,000 children complete their cancer treatment.
Talking about being associated with the initiative, Varun Dhawan said, “I have personally spent some time with children suffering from cancer and it’s amazing to see how bravely they fight this disease. It always inspires and humbles me and I am glad to be part of this much needed initiative #1SmallStepForCancer. It’s very sad to know in our country 4 out of 10 children are forced to abandon their treatment midway. This Emergency Fund that we are building will help up to 1,000 such children survive cancer.”
Besides him, yet another actor who is working towards raising funds and providing extensive cancer treatment to patients is none other than Emraan Hashmi.
As for Varun Dhawan’s forthcoming films, besides Judwaa 2, the actor is gearing up for Shoojit Sircar’s October which is slated to go on floor soon as well as YRF’s Sui Dhaaga opposite Anushka Sharma.

The YRF-84F was the prototype of the standard USAF F-84F Thunderstreak. Originally designated the YF-96A, it consisted of an F-84E Thunderjet fuselage with swept-back wings and tail. As the YF-96A, it made its initial flight on June 3, 1950.
During the early 1950s, the Air Force decided to conduct experiments on the feasibility of B-36s carrying fighter aircraft suspended under their bellies. This would not only provide the bomber with its own fighter protection but would make it possible for the bomber to carry the fighter long distances to a combat zone. Upon reaching the edge of the enemy's territory, the fighter would be released to conduct reconnaissance or bombing missions on its own.
The YF-96A redesignated the YRF-84F Ficon (a combination of "Fighter" and "Conveyer") was designed so that it could be carried by a B-36. As the Ficon, it made its first flight on March 30, 1953; however, subsequent development of mid-air refueling for range extension of fighter aircraft proved so successful that experiments with parasite fighters were discontinued.
The Experimental hangars of the US Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH. Every time we were here before, we missed the up to 4 groups of 43 people allowed to visit the Presidential and Experimental exhibits. This last time we arrived early in the morning and managed to sign up for the tour. Pictures taken during our last visit in June 2009.
A daytoni US Air Force Museumban tett eddigi látogatásaink során mindig lemaradtunk a Presidential and Experimental hangárról, ahova csak aznap reggeli feliratkozással lehet bejutni, így mindig hamar megtelik a napi 4 maximum 43 fős túra. Most kora reggeli indulással ezt is sikerült megnézni.
