Description

Pilots prepare themselves for joint NATO exercise sometime in the mid-1950s, while mechanics give their planes a last once-over.

Models:
- Republic F-84G Thunderjet: 1/72 Academy #1617
- Figurines: mix of Hasegawa, Preiser and PJ-Productions
- Bedford QL tanker: 1/76 Airfix #A03302

The nearest aircraft is painted as F-84G-21-RE 51-10806 which was K-171/DU-24 with the Royal Netherlands Air Force; it has been preserved at Kamp Zeist, Netherlands. The model is painted up as it served during the 1950s, and not as it is currently preserved.
Model inventory #783

The further aircraft is F-84G-6-RE 51-9923 or FZ-37/Z6-P of the Belgian Air Force. It was later transferred to the Royal Thai Air Force.
