Flying Razorback Flashback December 2013: Thunderflash over the Fort
A four-ship of RF-84 "Thunderflash" aircraft from the 184th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron as the 188th Fighter Wing was dubbed in 1959, flies over Rogers Avenue in downtown Fort Smith, Ark. The RF-84 was the unit's third mission aircraft. The 184th flew RF-84s from August 1957 through December 1971. This photo graced the front of the unit's official 1959 Christmas card, so it seems somewhat fitting that this image was selected for the December 2013 Flying Razorback Flashback. A careful study of the streets and buildings will show some of the innumerable changes Fort Smith has experienced in the 54 years since this photo was captured. What hasn't changed is that the men and women of the Arkansas Air National Guard are still a fixture in Fort Smith. (Courtesy photo)
