About the F-105 Thunderchief:

Design of the F-105 Thunderchief began in the early 1950s as an internal project at Republic Aviation. Intended to be a replacement for the F-84 Thunderjet, the F-105 was created as a supersonic, low-altitude penetrator capable of delivering a nuclear weapon to a target deep within the Soviet Union. Used by the United States Air Force, the F-105 was commonly known as the "Thud" by its crews.

It made its initial flight on October 22, 1955 and entered service in 1958. The F-105 could deliver a greater bomb load than the large strategic bombers of World War II such as the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator. The F-105 was one of the primary strike bombers of the Vietnam War. Total of 833 Thunderchief built. It retired on February 25, 1984.
