Pipz,

I'd like to recommend another F-105 book to you.

When Thunder Rolled by Ed Rasimus. It is by far the best book I've ever read about Vietnam aerial warfare. His intital reaction to being sent to Thailand and overcoming his fears of being up to flying combat in the early part of the book are pretty riveting. The description of flying and fighting throughout the book is top notch. I just purchased and started another book by the same author about his second tour of the war called Palace Cobra. He flew F-4 Phantoms his second tour. So far the second book is every bit as good as the first.

Your welcome Froger  :aok  I am glad some of the guys found that interesting.

Hey Shifty I will pick up "When Thunder Rolled" after I finish "Going Down Town" Thanks for the suggestions <S>

Thanks for posting that picture BJ. I remember seeing that plane some years ago now. Makes me want to make another trip to the museum.When I was there the B-36 really impressed me! Man that was a big plane! Ill see if I can get the pictures from that trip put on a disk so I can post them.

The info gent was quite animated when he saw Lute and I staring at it--thing is slightly larger than the B52, can fly 24 hours non-refueled (albeit 230 mph) Can up at Newfoundland, hit Berlin, and return sans refueling, can carry something like 72 1k eggs :eek:
