The
F-105 Thunderchief was designed to replace the F-84F
as a high-performance fighter-bomber. The prototype YF-105A
first flew in 1955.
Capable of carrying 12,000 lbs of ordinance, the
Thunderchief entered service in 1959 and saw extensive service in
Vietnam. The two-seat F-105F & G models were used as
anti-SAM "Wild Weasel" aircraft.
The Thunderchief was also know as the "Thud".
Over 800 were built. |
