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.
