What an amazing man

I FLEW OVER 100 MISSIONS IN A B-42 - OF COURSE I AM DEAD NOW

There was never a day I did not want to FLY!!!...SemperFi

Great video! Even better man. Thanks for your service sir. Bravo!

I can’t imagine 100 missions, my father wasn’t a pilot, but a B-24 gunner with 22 missions over Germany with one very close call. But the imagery flying like a bird over hostile territory makes me think you had someone there with you the whole time allowing your skills to become totally inherent! God bless you sir!

A truly under appreciated aircraft flown by true bad ass’s . They were put in a role the aircraft wasn’t designed to perform and the aircraft and crews did that job w accuracy.

Wow. What a man.

Thank you for your service! I’m 62 and in 1966 I was 5yrs old, and as a kid I remember the war in Vietnam.God Bless!

I had a childhood friend whose father flew 100 missions in the back seat of a Thud. He was a member of “The Wild Weasels” based out of Thailand. Great guy. Thank you sir for your valiant service to our country.

The Real Deal here!

Love. You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home. - Captain Malcolm Reynolds on having a ship to fly, that you love. Thank you, Sir. My old neighbor, Bill, was a crew chief on Thuds at Udorn. RIP, Sir.

Sir, I salute you

Respect..

My father in law, Col. Rod Giffin, also flew over 100 Thud missions over Hanoi. These were some very exceptional men indeed. Rod said he loved the Thud because he felt it would always get him home.

I served aboard the USS INDEPENDENCE CVA-62 during the years you mentioned - '66, '67 and '68. I was a black shoe but carried the greatest respect for you combat fighter pilots...the greatest respect. Everything you said was gospel truth. Thank you.

My dad flew 25 missions in a P-38 Europe, 100 missions in a P-51 Korea, and 100 missions in the F-105 Vietnam.

I appreciate his making it a nice environment to return to.

Great Combat Pilot. Respect. Welcome Home Sir.

1:14... that's a F-16 not a F-105. :facepalm:

Thank you, sir.

Pura honestidad. En el fondo se trata de ir, hacer bien tu trabajo, deja pasar lo malo, trata de disfrutar lo bueno y sigue con tu vida hacia adelante. Si uno se queda en el pasado, con todas las cargas emocionales negativas en la espalda, adonde iré a dar? Al fondo del estanque. Buen ejemplo de vida.

I went to USAF pilot training in 1968, and I didn’t know shit about the air war. One of the instructors in my class was Tom Lockhart. He had a patch on the shoulder of his flight jacket. It was a red, white and blue shield that said, “100 missions. North Vietnam. F-105D”. After my two tours in Vietnam and Thailand, I had an appreciation for what it really stood for. In my humble opinion, there was no more dangerous day to day existence.

“Be honest with our emotions. Our feelings aren’t right or wrong, they’re just ours.” Absolutely brilliant.

I don't know about being a hero. A killer for sure, dropping dumb bombs helter skelter and who knows where they landed and whose lives were wiped out. A very lucky son of a gun. Too bad he hasn't ever progressed or mature much since his inglorious days...a true waste of a life.

Seems like a really great guy! Much love from the uk

100 missions, 100% convinced of what he did. GREAT ¡ CONGRATULATIONS. Greetings from Mexico City and THANKS for your service.

I pray that you are doing well Sir and will see the comments below, you and your brothers and sisters I salute. God Bless and thank you.

The original lead sled. No fooling. That's what they called it.

God Bless you sir ! Thank you very much - We good citizens love y’all . Take care man (Capt.)

Thanks, Colonel Peck!

Thank you for your service sir!

1:15 That's an F-16.

I am a marine that was trained by air force in 1969 to 1973. Flew t 37 and F 5 and a 4 skyhawk. Semper fi brother.

Thanks for your service!!!

Obrigado pelo seu trabalho, precioso Irmão. Não há amor maior do que oferecer sua vida pelo próximo, disse Jesus Cristo. E foi isso que Voces fizeram. Quando os Norte Americanos lutavam pelo mundo o comunismo era contido. Hoje os comunistas com suas drogas estão infiltrados nos governos do mundo todo, inclusive no congresso e no judiciario dos EUA, o que é uma lástima. Deus abençoe os EUA e seu valioso povo.

I sense a greater story in his eyes. Well Done Sir. Respect.

Watching this video has taken me back to my deployment as a 105 crew chief. I had the incredible privilege of working with the bravest men I’ve ever known. Korat, Thailand, 1965-66! The 105 was designed to deliver a nuclear war head stored in its internal bombay. Using the newest Doppler radar it could fly at 150’ above ground at 1300 mph, deliver the war head, turn and be gone totally under enemy radar. But instead we were over there sending our pilots into sorties carrying 750lb dumb bombs, or strafing ground targets with 20mm canons. There were 763 F-105’s built by Republic. 768 were lost in combat or in training missions for combat. Knowing their odds for survival I worked with these incredibly brave pilots for 2 deployments!

I flew with Robert Spielman, a thud pilot, what a great guy Chuker was.

I was in the 67th TFS out of Kadena AFB 1965...to 1967...F-105's. I was the forms 5 clerk among other things...it was a good gig.. We had a bar and a grill in our ops building down on the flightline..Robinson Risner was our C/O..he got shot down..then we had Black Matt Matthews...he was a ace inKorea..he was ok..I got in trouble now and then, I was only just 17 when I went in..he never came down hard on me I was really just a kid..

Yankees i remind you that you ve LOST that war. Try to invade Vietnam and kicked out by the vietnamese despite napalm and chemical weapons. Nothing, absolutely nothing to be proud of.

SEMPER FORTIS / SEMPER FIDELIS

I love this man instantly. My late uncle flew b58 hustler and f4 in Vietnam. God bless you sir. You are a true American hero that deserves respect

Awesome...!! Not only a natural Pilot , but fought and survived in the most hostile air environment imaginable. He served his Country with honour, and his Country was trying to help people that didn't want Communism.... What more can we say...?

Hi Brian flew with Burt Campbell on the C-9A Nightingale Burt flew 105’s thought you may have known him?

Can you say BADASS. Thank you sir I flew SIC for a number of years with one of your cohorts in Citations and Lears who also flew the 105 along with the F4 and the F111 in Nam. He retired from the USAF as a Colonel. Good lord the stories he told about the missions you guys flew. Godspeed my friend.
