IMO the all time sexiest looking fighter.

True, it was a psycho redhead but it was totally hot.

F-105 was a also a POS, earning the name Flying Coffin.

30 percent of those flown by Canada crashed.

50 percent were lost by the German who were still flying them long after the US got rid of them.

The joke used to be it was was the only aircraft in the USAF fleet that had a glide path worse then a rock.

Boss told me of losing one in England. Pilot ejected safely but that sucker crashed straight into a peat bog.

He said it took them days with an excavator and other heavy equipment to dig deep into the muck to find the rocket powered lawn dart..

Oooohhh another great tester! Early 80s looking at those cars. Probably Sydney, theres a Bank of NSW on the corner. Inner east or western suburbs looking at those flats. Parramatta Rd? Or Pac Hway lower north shore?? So tempting to hit image search!!!

As noted in a different thread, I’m fairly sure I met her in a Galway nightclub on a stag weekend, years ago. Or maybe it was her sister. Not a great kisser but I do remember she had a great sense of humour.

The well known Thud for the doubt it made when it crashed. 
 

like a high performance sailboat, good fighters have a bursary of their own. The Thud was just butt ugly.

i worked on a survey crew working on a road that connected the cold lake base with the primrose weapons range to the north...78ish.  they liked to open it up heading out 

86 ish the Town outside the base was Grand Center and 6 miles east was the town of Cold Lake on the shores of the lake named Cold Lake. Confusing, yes.  Anyway, that was the end of the paved road, any further was gravel and the Greyhound (generic?) bus turned around there in front of a little bar to head back to Edmonton. Every Friday the bus dropped off a new stripper for the bar and the girl that had been there a week, departed on the same bus.
