I think its a variant of the F-86 Sabre, but my knowledge of post-war aircraft is pretty poor.

Its a 1952 Republic F-84 F-30-RE Thunderstreak. I looked it up from the tail number. And its a fighter version, not the photo recon version. There are no cameras on the front of this one. the recon variant had a conventional nose cone, the fighter version did not, until they started putting the British Sapphire engine in it, then it had an eliptical air intake under the nose. This photo shows an F-84F with a nose intake cover on.

It is not an F-86 or the F-100 my friend...It is a Republic F-84 Thunderstreak jet fighter from the 1950s.

The F-86 Wing was mounted under the belley of the plane, it was shorter and had the Cannons built in along side the nose- this plane looks more like a F 100 or F 102- F -104

Yes... It is an F-86 Sabre... It found action against MiGs during the Korean War in the 1950's...

Possibly a captured MiG with USAF markings. The wing root is wrong for the'86. The wing is mounted high like a MiG-15,17. Also, it looks like there's a nose cone in the air intake, another MiG feature. Just a guess, but it's def. not an F-100 or 104.

The aircraft in question is the Republic F-84F variant. The "84F" variant was modified as a photo reconnaissance aircraft and the little "bump" you see in the center of the front air intake is the cameras.

not an 86...the horizontal stabilizer is too high on the vertical stabilizer. on a 86 it is located where the vertical stab. and fuselage meet. wings are in the wrong place as well
Not an 80 or a 100, or 102, or 104 any more "guesses????
