That would be F-105 Thunderchief pilot to you, sir.

Sorry to offend you sir. Most Thunderchief pilots called the F-105 the
"Thud".

Most??? Just how many F-105 pilots do you know? There were so many
nicknames for the F-105 I don't believe there was a consensus.

Ahem...you guys might back up a little.

the guy probably has read books that call the airplane that.
I personally dont know any F-105 pilots. However i respect hell out
of the ones I have read about and may meet virtually. It is your
opportunity to teach those of us too young to know you in your prime
as to how you wish to be addressed and the lineage and history of
your fine airplane and the courageous exploits of those who flew
her. We know you by books and your written word. If some appear
ignorant...teach...dont bite.
