Although the F-84B and F-84C could not be deployed because their J35 engines had a service life of only 40 hours, the F-84D and F-84E entered combat with 27th Fighter Escort Group on 7 December 1950.
F-84B og F-84C kunne ikke udstationeres, fordi deres J35 motorer kun havde en brugbar levetid på 40 timer, men F-84D og F-84E, som var tjenestegørende i 27th Fighter Escort Group, blev sendt i kamp den 7. december 1950.
