This is the last flight and landing for this old Thud as it was being delivered to the March Field Air Museum. I was very lucky to have taken this shot as I had no idea that the aircraft was being delivered on this day. Stopping by the Museum before leaving for work, I was told that they were expecting the arrival of the F-105 that afternoon! Luckily, things fell in place and I was escorted to the runway and this is the only photographic evidence that exists of this event that I know of.
