This aircraft, 44-89444, still survives and is now on exhibit at the Cradle of Aviation Museum at Mitchel Field in Garden City, Long Island.

This is a Republic F-84 Thunderjet about to take off from what appears to be Runway 19 at Republic Airport (FRG / KFRG). If the frame of the photo was wider, to the right you would see Republic Aviation's primary manufacturing plant at Republic Airport. Below is a link just to the east (approx. 50 meters) of the likely point from which this photo was taken. Today, stores and a parking lot occupy the space where the plant would have been. maps.google.com/maps?rlz=1C1LENN_enUS451US451&q=40.73...

Since this location has been identified, you need to change the title and remove this from the "need identification" album.

This is Republic Airport (FRG / KFRG) in Farmingdale, Long Island. As the name suggests, it was the home of Seversky, and then Republic Aviation. The hangar in the photo is still there and remains in operation today. To the north (the left side of the frame), is the current location of the American Airpower Museum. The view is looking from west to east. The runway next to the hangar is Runway 19. The property to the east of the hangar is St. Charles Cemetery. New Highway runs north and south to the east of Runway 19, and in between the airport and cemetery property.

I think I've read the 1st word written with smaller lettering. It is "POWER", I believe.

Another photo of Republic Airport in the SDASM photostream. Note this hangar to the upper right side of the frame.
