Pretty much the movie version of the book “Thud Ridge” – which if you ever find a copy of – grab it and enjoy the read!
The F-105 was basically an afterburner equipped B-52 engine with a set of wings added – the nickname “Thud” came from the sound of them hitting the ground in Viet Nam . . .
Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!
