[OM] Re: #225

Marc is right on.  I was confused by the air intake at the wing root 
which is a characteristic of the F-80/T-33.  The RF-84F is a modified 
F-84 which had a nose air intake.  However, to suit the reconnaissance 
mission of the RF-84F the nose is filled with camera gear and so the 
engine intakes were relocated to the wing root.  See:
