Auto Credit Based on Apollo018362's Republic F-105D Thunderchief
This will be my final build of the Thunderbirds pack
The team switched to the F-105 Thunderchief for the 1964 season, but were forced to re-equip with the F-100D after only six airshows due to a catastrophic structural failure of the No. 2 aircraft during a pitch-up maneuver that resulted in the death of Capt Gene Devlin at Hamilton Air Force Base on 9 May.[15][16] The F-100D Super Sabre was retained through the 1968 season.-Exerpt from Wikipedia
