This picture was made only moments after the RF-84F shut its engines for the very last time. The Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) took delivery of this Thunderflash (FMS serial 51-11253) as P-5 on 11 May'56. It was transferred to Greece on 23 Apr'63. The RF-84F was then operated by 348 Mira. The Flash is seen here at Volkel, just after its final flight on 29 Jul'88. It was donated by Greece to the Netherlands. The latter restored the RF-84F in its original colors and serial. It is preserved at the Dutch National Military Museum at Soesterberg since March'95.
