Summary

[edit]
Description

c/n 3350-2290B Allocated US military serial 52-8465 Delivered to Norway in October 1953 and flew as ‘28465’ until retired in 1960. Preserved in 338 squadron markings and on display in the Military Aircraft Hall of the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum (Norwegian Aviation Museum). Bodø, Northern Norway 25th May 2019

The following information is from the Museum website:-

“The Thunderjet was the aircraft type that the RNoAF has had in largest numbers. Between September 1951 and May 1955, Norway received six F-84Es and 200 F-84Gs as part of the NATO Military Assistance Program. Six squadrons were established with Thunderjets. The F-84E was used by the photo-reconnaissance flight that formed part of 338 Squadron. In July 1960 the last F-84G was taken out of service and the F-86 Sabre took over.

The Royal Norwegian Air Force Museum’s F-84G Thunderjet has the serial number 52-8465 and came to Norway in October 1953. The aircraft served in both 330 and 331 Squadrons before being transferred to 338 Squadron at Ørlandet where it was given the registration letters MU-P. The aircraft was taken out of service in April 1960 after 1,048 hours’ flying time.”
