Pilots of the F-105 Thunderchief were issued patches like these by their squadrons for their flight suits and jackets. There were four different colors of patches issued (red, blue, green, or yellow) depending on the squadron's color.

The biggest, fastest, baddest single-engine jet fighter ever! That was the F-105 Thunderchief. "Thuds" were the USAF's go-to 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 of the F-105D on a tee shirt that you can proudly wear in remembrance of one of the greatest fighters ever flown by some of the bravest men to ever get into a cockpit.

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.

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. After bombing the Yen Vien railroad yards (the largest in Vietnam), Crossbow flight engaged MiG-17s that attacked other F-105s. With an inoperative gun-sight, Lt. Waldrop pressed his attack on two MiG-17 which he destroyed with his 20mm Vulcan Cannon. Although one of the MiG kills was later denied by Seventh Air Force, he was awarded a cluster for his Silver Star Medal for his actions on that date. This tee features my own rendering of Lt. Waldrop's F-105D Thunderchief, 61-0132, nicknamed "Hanoi Express," which he flew that day.

Two sided tee featuring my Thunderchief heritage design in front and my F-105D rendering on the back.

This design is a tribute to the F-105 B Thunderchief and the 335th Tactical Fighter Squadron (TFS), who are better known as "The Chiefs." The 335th TFS was assigned to evaluate the Thunderchief, and was the first USAF Squadron to accept and fly them. The '105 you see here is wearing the 335th's distinctive tail flash and stylized Chief's head design that was painted on their aircraft. The tail number of the plane was one that was actually flown by that squadron.
