The swept-wing version was originally designated YF-96A.
Yep, plank-wing (F-84, F-84A to E, F-84G) and swept-wing (F-84F, RF-84F, RF-84K) and various X and Y of both wing types.The swept-wing version was originally designated YF-96A.

I found that my glorious U2 spy plane is missing the main canopy. Or was it the windscreen... one of them is missing. I'll either have to track down an aftermarket set or use fruit container plastic or something... ehhh... I'm not seeing any on Ebay. Anyone know who does aftermarket U2 glass?
