Description
The Republic F-105 Thunderchief, was a supersonic fighter-bomber used by the United States Air Force. The Mach 2 capable F-105 bore the brunt of strike bombing over North Vietnam during the early years of the Vietnam War. Originally designed and deployed as a single seat aircraft, a two-seat Wild Weasel version was later developed for use in the specialized Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses(SEAD) role against surface-to-air missile sites. It was commonly known as the "Thud" by its crews.

Love how the Wild Weasels looks, prety good composition!! One question: Sorry for my ignorance, but are the jaws decals of the F-105 are in the right place?

Not ignorance, I had to look it up as well and they are placed properly. As best I can tell there were numerous variations on the sharks mouth. Personally I think it looks very odd but it is correct :o)

Read a book on this once (prosaically called 'thud')...was about 25 tons, very heavy for the day...;) Great pic. I thought Wild Weasels were F4's, but I'm hardly the expert.

One of my favorite aircrafts. I remember seeing them and F-100's at Nellis in the early sixties. You have done a fantastic job of recreating it.
