Rob de Bie Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) I've been working on a study of the RNLAF F-84F stores, for which I made a model, and right now I'm finishing a 20 page article on the subject. https://robdebie.home.xs4all.nl/models/f84f.htm For this study, I used a flight manual, this one: 'F-84F-25 and later Flight Handbook (30 December 1956 - Revised 30 December 1956)' I was slightly surprised that this manual lacked some details, that were yet to be determined. But now I discovered that that a much later version of the flight manual exists: 'F-84F-25 and later Flight Handbook (15 February 1963 - Change 10 - 30 November 1970)' Does anyone know whether this manual is publicly available as a PDF?

Robin-42 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I don’t think there is a copyright on it being government, so you should find it here. http://aviationarchives.blogspot.com/2021/05/republic-f-84f-flight-manual.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unfortunately that's an older version of the F-84F flight manual, I'm looking specifically for the 1963 version. I hope it 'floats around' on the internet somewhere..

Yes, they have it, but the one I want to study is 122$.. That's too steep for me, for a PDF that might 'float around' on the internet somewhere. Or does that sound cheap?

bentwaters81tfw Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Seen the odd copy on ebay occasionally, but whether it is the later one I don't know. I was looking for a maintenance manual but they are not to be had. Do have a parts manual though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left inboard pylon still is a bit of a mystery to me. I found out that all of them in the RNLAF inventory were modified with LABS components before the strike task was taken up (using the B28EX as far as I know). They were called 'universal pylon' after that, and sometimes 'special pylon'. If the manual described the unique pylon for the Mk7 (as shown below), I'm all ears too.
