  • I'm reading an autobiography by a retired F-105 pilot, it's called "THUD RIDGE", by Colonel Jack Broughton. He describes to you about a full expieriance of what it was like to go into combat with these workhorses.

  • The Thud was a beautiful beast!! I'd give almost anything to see one of these old girls fly again!!

  • Vietnam?..I wasn't there, but still care!...No offense to GOD, but Vietnam era Air Force,Marine,Navy,Army are like gods to me.......I was never a pilot BUT! I was a Flight Engineer on CH-47 Chinook helicopters during the 1980s...

  • These are the planes George Bush flew.

    So tell me again how stupid he was.

  • my grandfather worked on this exact plane

  • I am a Thud pilot, I love my plane.

    It is my body, I am its brain.

    It's packed with transistors, black boxes, diodes.

    But please stay alert, 'cause you may get hurt

    when she explodes!

  • Did anybody have, or know anything about song dedicated to F-105 ?I heard this long, long time ago , and I would like to have it ...

    Thank you !

  • @Nergoil no just flesh and bone.

  • @Nergoil And brains made of rubber

  • Five F-4 Phantom drivers dislike this! Shame on you all...and piss on the F-4!!!

  • @eedoon Thanks for the great info! You're absolutely right in the fact that while the P-47 was a big fighter for its day, it was much smaller than the B-17.(A little less than half the fuselage length) By comparison, the fuselage length on the F-105 was 64 ft 5 inches, which does make it roughly comparable with that of the Flying Fortress.That still blows me away in light of the fact that the B-17 carried a crew of 10, while the Thud was a single-seater.
