Forgive me for a dumb question, but, are you a "Thud" Pilot?


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

There now Erik, consider yourself 'put in your place'.

There's a generation of F-105 pilots that doesn't use the nickname.
The term Thud came into general use around '67 although there are
instances of derogatory use earlier. It was accepted by most of the
"retraining" course drivers of the airplane.

Wonder why Erik never took the necessary second or two to click on the
link in my sig? Saves a lot of questions.
