Howdy, Ags!

Our YouTube Channel launched the first long-form episode in a new documentary series focused on the F-105 Thunderchiefthe Cold War-era strike fighter that would go on to carry the load in Vietnam.

Episode 1 "Birth of the Thunderchief" covers the aircraft's origins, the bold vision behind its design, its rocky development path, and the men who first flew it. Think: nuclear strike tactics, test pilot heroics, and a whole lot of jet noise.

If you're into military aviation, Cold War history, or just appreciate some well-built American airpower, this one's for you.

More episodes coming soon, covering Vietnam operations out of Takhli AB, combat losses, rescues, and the legacy of the Thud and those who flew her.
