On February 28, 1946, the F-84 Thunderjet made its inaugural flight. Eighty years later, we’re honored to preserve this pioneering jet in our museum, a testament to the early years of America’s postwar fighter development.

To mark the anniversary, hear from EAA staff as they share insights into the very aircraft on display.
