F-105B/D Thunderchief
The F-105 Thunderchief, affectionately known as the "Thud," held a prominent position in the USAF fleet from the late 1950s through the 1980s. With its robust design and remarkable strike capabilities, the F-105 played a vital role in various combat scenarios and strategic missions, leaving an indelible mark on aviation history. Renowned for its rugged appearance and impressive payload capacity, the F-105 was primarily utilized for ground attack missions, particularly during the tumultuous years of the Vietnam War.

In many ways, the F-105 symbolized the USAF's dedication to maintaining air superiority and effective tactical operations during a pivotal period in global conflicts.
