Republic P-84C-11-RE Thunderjet 47-1556, 166th FS, 122nd FG, Ohio ANG (Air National Guard), USAF: Written off (damaged beyond repair) March 2 1951 in a landing accident at Lockbourne AFB, Lockbourne, Franklin County, Ohio. Accident reported as "landing accident - hard landing". Pilot of 47-1556 was Victor A Rawlins, USAF
During World War II, the installation was a U.S. Army Air Forces training base known as Lockbourne Army Airfield, becoming an air force base in 1948 a few months following the establishment of the United States Air Force as an independent branch of the U.S. armed forces. The base was named Lockbourne AFB from 1948 to 1974 and later Rickenbacker AFB from 1974 to 1980. The facility was transferred from Strategic Air Command and the active duty Air Force on 1 April 1980 and turned over to the Air National Guard.
