This Thud was delivered in 1964 as a standard F-105F and subsequently joined the 355th TFW in combat missions over Vietnam claiming three MiG kills. In 1970 it was fitted with ECM equipment and joined the 388th TFW for 'Wild Weasel' duty attacking enemy SAM sites. In 1972 the aircraft was modified to the improved F-105G configuration and is on display at the National Museum of the USAF in the markings worn while assigned to the 561st TFS based at Korat Royal AFB, Thailand in 1972-73.
