Description

Four U.S. Air Force Republic F-105D Thunderchief aircraft of the 4th Tactical Fighter Wing are refueled on their way to North Vietnamse _targets by a Boeing KC-135A Stratotanker aircraft in 1965.
The F-105s visible are (front to back):

  • 62-4338, which was shot down on 2 September 1967 (333 TFS, the pilot was killed);
  • 61-0139; unknown;
  • 59-1771 (c/n D83), it was retired to the MASDC as FK0048 on 25 June 1981, and is today on display at Circleville, Ohio (USA).
  • The KC-135A-BN 60-0315 (c/n 18090) was later converted to an KC-135R.

Note: as the 61-0139 wears 4th TFW markings and the 59-1771 is still without camouflage the photo was most probably taken in 1965. The 4th was rotated to the U.S. in 1965-66, leaving its F-105s in South East Asia.
