The Republic F-84F Thunderstreak was an American-built swept-wing turbojet fighter-bomber. While an evolutionary development of the straight-wing F-84 Thunderjet, the F-84F was a new design. 197 of these were in service with the Belgian air force from 1955 until their retirement in the early 70's. This build is equipped with ferry tanks (AG3 to drop) and 5" rockets (AG2 to drop launch racks). VTOL for flaps, AG1 for lights, AG4 for drag chute and AG5 for nose wheel lock/unlock.

@asteroidbook345 the Tupolev is the fastest turboprop, but I don't think they ever managed to squeeze more than Mach .75 out of it. The 'screech may or may not have been faster; it's sometimes claimed to be, but I believe someone made a mistake at the time and invited people from the Guiness brewery rather than the book... as a result, everyone had a few beers but no official record ;)
@asteroidbook345 the "thunderscreech"..?? I believe the prototype's only claim to fame was that it made a lot of noise :D
