Thanks DCW for your quick answer 🙂
From the history of the squadron, this unit flew the F-84 F only two year, before getting F-86 L.
A very funny badge, it could be cool to find a pic of a whole Thunderstreak so decorated !

If you read the info in the link posted above, you’ll see that the insignia posted in color is slightly different than the one on the F-84. The latter is the mark of the 168th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, with the skunk holding “a bomb on a plate.” the former is, as it says, the mark of the 168th Air Refueling Squadron, with the bomb-on-a-plate reconfigured so the skunk is holding a gas-pump nozzle. Obviously no F-84s would have been part of an air-refueling squadron…
