On 23-August-1967, while 1LT David Waldrop was assigned to the 34th TFS. He flew his 53rd mission over North Vietnam as “Crossbow 3,” part of an Alpha-strike consisting of three other F-105 flights.

Thunderchief! The name says it all! The biggest, fastest, baddest single-engine jet fighter ever! That was the F-105 Thunderchief. "Thuds" were the USAF's premier strike bomber during the Vietnam Was, and could carry a heavier bomb load than a WWII B-17. They also had the highest number of gun kills during the war. F-105 crews flew against the most dangerous and heavily defended targets during the war, and nothing could match their blistering low altitude speed. I've put my rendering on a tee shirt that you can proudly wear to remember of one of the greatest fighters ever flown by some of the bravest men to ever get into a cockpit.
