diveplane Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) having traveled into Arkansas USA for family affairs, after all that dust was settled, I had time to travel the area and found a jemstone of a place, little museum airfield called "Aviation Cadet World" based in Eureka Springs, AR USA , sadly the day I arrived it was closed on sundays, but apparently when they are open, they give full cockpit guided tours of these mighty warbirds. = u get to sit inside them. I was totally awe struck at the size of the F-105 thunderchief , i am 6 foot 5 and the size made me look like a midget this jet, incredible engineering if u ask me for there time. not far behind the scale size was the F-100 super sabre also at this little air museum. anyone that lives near this location I highly recommend you going, I am sure to make another trip here again soon, and on a day that's open for the full tour. web site to little museum http://aviationcadet.com/ yours truly standing foreground of F-105.

galagamo Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The F-105 is in my opinion one of the more esthetically inclined aircraft of its time, never mind the nickname "Thud" which isn't short for its monicker...unfortunately. :cry: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] OS:WIN7 HP X64|MOBO:ASRock Z68|CPU:I52500k@4Ghz|RAM:12Gb 3x4Gb GSkill Ripjaws 9-9-9-24 @1600Mhz|GPU:ASUS GTX580|HDD:2x128Gb Crucial sataIII SSD raid0|PSU:Antek 1000watt|Case:Antek 1200|Peripherals: TMWH|Saitek ProFlight rudder pedals|TrackIr4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
