The first image
The first image on the page is definitely NOT an F-84G (the Edwards AFB page from which it came is in error). The F-84G had a multi-framed canopy -- I can't see the tail number in the photo but it's probably an F-84E. - Emt147 Burninate! 23:20, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I have classified this as B for
- Thanks for the comments. This is among several articles I'm trying to bring up to FA level. The text is verified but I need to go back and add the actual citations. - Emt147 Burninate! 03:16, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
pressed-forged spars and ribs
I believe the giant press used to make the spars and ribs for the F-84F's wings was made by the (defunct)Mesta machine tool company, based just outside of Pittsburgh, PA. 152.163.100.131 09:40, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Cite tags
Just so no-one freaks out - the cite tags were added at the request of an editor during the course of an A-class review. If cites aren't added, the tags can be removed once the review is closed.

Thunderwhat?
I can find lines in the body text referring to Thunderjet, Thunderstreak, and Thunderscreech. I get the impression that different names were given to different models, but it isn't exactly clear which model had which name. For instance a reference is made to an E model Thunderstreak, but that is immediately followed by a reference to a G model Thunderjet. Would it be a good idea to add a magic decoder ring to the list of variants at the bottom of the article? Maybe including the model name along with the model number?

- The straight-wing F-84A-E and G models were called the Thunderjet. They should be the only models covered here now. The talk) 08:03, 26 January 2008 (UTC)]

This incident with one F-84 shot down is currently missing in the article. I'd be grateful for someone familiar with the topic would include it - otherwise I'll do it myself, anywhen... --KnightMove (talk) 10:22, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
