A Very Special F-105D

I worked some on the F-105 in the 1970's and a few years ago I thought to myself, "What were we thinking when we built that beast?"

Here's an article about a very special F-105D. A KC-135 pilot told me about his encounter with that airplane over Laos but I did not know the whole story.

That was Vic Vizcarra's Thud! He was one of the very first pilots of the Wild Weasel version of the F-105. You should look him up - amazing stories.
