Republic F-105 Thunderchief
In 1955, the Thunderchief flew for the first time, and in 1958, it made its formal appearance. The aircraft was largely used by the United States Air Forces until it was decommissioned in 1984. During the early years of the Vietnam War, the Thunderchief was a Mach 2 supersonic fighter-bomber that was used for many strike bombing missions. It was the sole American aircraft pulled from combat due to high loss rates. Despite its origins as a single-seat nuclear-attack aircraft, it was converted into a two-seat Wild Weasel version for specialized Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) against surface-to-air missile sites. It was the world’s largest single-seat, single-engine combat aircraft when it entered service, weighing in at 50000 pounds. Its personnel lovingly referred to it as ‘Thud.’
