Thanks for watching everyone! Actually it's a Republic F-105, not a North American! Sorry about that!!
No worries! Can we expect a video on the F106 soon?
Ya gotta love the Thud. I love how a big bomber like this is called a fighter. In reality she was a fighter bomber. Alexander Kartvelli, we are not worthy. Can't wait for the F-106
Like the F-111.
@@thelandofnod123 Yes true
It seems that Republic managed to design an early example of a stealth aircraft by accident.
YB35's had similar issues, although those were early radars.
What a gorgeous beast. My favorite Cold War aircraft.
Good video. Liked those perspex panels.
Enjoyed reading 'Thud Ridge', by Colonel Jack Broughton, a little while back.
Yes yes yes yes 😂😂😂 one of my favourites 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Thanks Paul, raining outside happy inside.
Got to give a lot of credit to the NMUSAF for letting you get up close to all these aircraft. Makes your videos even that more special.
Absolutely! They let me in early to film before the regular opening hours so I'm very much in their debt! PIMA were also very helpful, the Smithsonian less so...
Awesome, I've been to all three museums. keep up the great work!@@PaulStewartAviation
I remember them during my Air Force tours in Vietnam...
Over half of the total production run was lost in Vietnam. This plane fought hard
This is a great video. Always loved the F-105 Thunder chief. It’s probably my favorite Vietnam era plane, F-8 crusader is in close contention. There is something endearing about a plane that has to complete a mission that is nearly impossible but still fly’s it tough
Glad you enjoyed it!
One of my favorites since learning about this jet while reading "Thud Ridge" as a kid. Thanks for another great video.
Nice video. I remember the F-105Ds flying low level across our farm. They were from Carswell AFB. These were Thunderstick equipped 105s. Great memories.
Nice presentation! That plane was stuffed full of goodies.
Thanks
While you were at the USAF Museum, did you get any footage of SCAT XXVII, the F-4 Phantom piloted by Colonel Robin Olds? This video of the F-105 reminds me so much of the famous mission Colonel Olds orchestrated to bring out the Migs for a dogfight.
I think I've filmed everything with my 'whole museum' video so you should see it there. It might take me a few years to finish editing, though :)
Beautiful plane!
Lucky for us. We do not need waiting for century for this video to come out
WOOOOOO I just saw a cool video with an interview of a pilot that was shot down in one of these over Vietnam. Dronescapes
Awesome Paul 👍✈️🇳🇿
Great content , very well done , all of them .
it still amazes me that this came just 10 years after the war, from piston powered fighters maxing out at 400mph to swept back jets capable of Mach 2.1. Today there are variations of fighters that were penned 50 years ago (F15, 16, 18)
Great show thanks for your hard work
I'm coming here 3 weeks old, but have to say "thank-you" Paul, for another great video. I might've said this before, but I enjoy your "nose to tail" descriptions, showing the smaller details of the aircraft, and explaining their functions.
Thanks John!
Thanks Paul for another awesome video!
One of my A&P instructors had a big scar on his head from this pipe during his time in Vietnam. Said the damn thing got everybody one time or another when servicing the aircraft. 6:45. Would love to see you cover more Helos
Another great informative video
Another really enjoyable video Paul. Thanks for the explanation about the air inlets as I always wondered why they looked so odd on this jet.
Another great video as usual!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I live in Ohio and toured the Air Force Museum many years ago. It's so cool to see your video about the aircraft there. Thanks for sharing!
You're very welcome! I'm working on more videos from the same museum :)
Superb video as always 👍
Thank you so much 😀
awesome channel.. it deserves way more Subscribers !!!
I appreciate that!
Great video Paul!
Glad you think so!
Its clear ypu really do your research ! I have learned things about the F105 that i have never even seen mentioned elsewhere.
Thanks! There are a lot of videos on RUclips with someone reading of wikipaedia added to old footage. With my videos I hope to add something more.
One of the best videos I've seen ❤
Paul u did it again ! Superb
Excellent video as always Paul
Thanks for watching
Can you do a Video on the A10 tank buster.
You would have done all my favourite military planes then👍👍👍
Got my RM Williams and Polo Shirt on it’s time for my fav Paul Stewart vid!🎉 Love your vids Paul..What’s everyone’s favourite Century series plane?
F-111. Mainly because I briefly worked on them. Then the F-100.

I never understood how the 105 fit in the mix of aircraft. Now I can see what was going on.
It had a bomb bay which was rarely used except for storing fuel
Interesting that they started with probe air to air refuelling and then switched to the USAF standard receptacle system.
A great video but I do miss the old flight reviews 😢 will they be back anytime soon?
I did one last week on a 747-8 ;)
@@PaulStewartAviationI would love to see Australia flight reviews again though as I do live there and love your flight reviews.
Slightly more rounds than the F-15. Since only one barrel is firing it can be tucked in. 1028 rounds must be a bit weighty.
Why do external fuel tanks have fins on them?
I understand the fins aid in separation when jettisoned. One tank design had the ability to have the angle and location of the fins changed to suit the aircraft they were attached to.
Most modern tanks don’t have the fins. Separation is achieved with explosive cartridges fitted to the pylon that push the nose off first.
If you can find videos of ordinance and external equipment jettison trials, they can be, ahem, interesting.
First
Why does the tail code of the G start with 38?
We all know that the bird wasn’t produced in 1938 so I’m confused
Is that the plane GWB flew in the TANG…. And which non-story killed Dan Rather’s career?
F-102 or F-106, and while Dan Rather was an idiot, GWB was a draft dodger (his Pa jumped him two years to head of the NG to avoid Vietnam service) and a deserter (he stopped going to his required reserve meetings so he could play politics). There's not a lot of honor in the elites on either side.
@@grizwoldphantasia5005 i think it was the Thud…
designed for low altitude, but then always flew high altitude bombing. Thus, the high loss rate to sams
Did not always or even mostly do high altitude bombing. It did mostly dive bombing, rolling in from medium altitude. The tactics for ingress into the target area underwent changes during the war. One F-105 WIng in Thailand liked to go in on the deck and then pop up to bomb, the other liked to penetrate at medium altitude. Far more F-105s were lost to AAA than to SAMs, so the medium altitude ingress became the favored tactic, especially after the radar jamming pods became available in quantity. SAMs actually had a low direct kill rate against maneuvering fighter bombers, but they did serve to force avoidance maneuvers that could drive the plane down into the AAA envelope.
Ugly but good. The vertical fin always looked far too small in proportion to the rest of the aircraft, throwing its appearance off...
It's not ugly at all but I agree on fin being a bit too small on such a large aircraft.
First statement….WRONG.
Which bit?
