The F-105 Thunderchief, also known as the “Thud,” was a supersonic American fighter-bomber produced by Republic Aviation. Designed in the late 1950s, it played a key role during the Vietnam conflict, especially in attack and bombing missions from 1964 to 1970. Originally equipped with a distinctive pitot tube on the nose, the F-105 was widely used by the US Air Force during the Cold War era.
