Republic F 105 Thunderchief Kids Hoodies

Thunderchief! The name says it all! The biggest, fastest, baddest single-engine jet fighter ever! That was the F-105 Thunderchief. "Thuds" were the USAF's premier strike bomber during the Vietnam Was, and could carry a heavier bomb load than a WWII B-17. They also had the highest number of gun kills during the war. F-105 crews flew against the most dangerous and heavily defended targets during the war, and nothing could match their blistering low altitude speed. I've put my rendering on a tee shirt that you can proudly wear to remember of one of the greatest fighters ever flown by some of the bravest men to ever get into a cockpit.

Ideal for Thunderchief veterans, flight simulator gamers, F-105 Thunderchief model kit builders and military aviation enthusiasts. Also makes a cool F-105 Thunderchief gift at Christmas an birthdays,

On 23-August-1967, while 1LT David Waldrop was assigned to the 34th TFS. He flew his 53rd mission over North Vietnam as “Crossbow 3,” part of an Alpha-strike consisting of three other F-105 flights. After bombing the Yen Vien railroad yards (the largest in Vietnam), Crossbow flight engaged MiG-17s that attacked other F-105s. With an inoperative gun-sight, Lt. Waldrop pressed his attack on two MiG-17 which he destroyed with his 20mm Vulcan Cannon. Although one of the MiG kills was later denied by Seventh Air Force, he was awarded a cluster for his Silver Star Medal for his actions on that date. This tee features my own rendering of Lt. Waldrop's F-105D Thunderchief, 61-0132, nicknamed "Hanoi Express," which he flew that day.
