Sample Book Insights: #1 The F-105 was a powerful and big aircraft designed to fly fast and dangerously low. It was used in a different war for completely different reasons. The pilots were tasked with obliterating the SAM sites that killed Ross Fobair three days earlier. #2 The Thud was a well-designed and roomy plane. It was set up around a T-shaped center console. Every few seconds Vic glanced inside the cockpit and cross-checked a gauge or switch. He didn’t bother with the big attitude indicator or horizontal situation indicator in the middle console just forward of the stick. #3 Vic flew alongside the leader, keeping an eye on the hills on the right side of the formation. As they flew through the passes, Vic felt the pure joy of flying. Suddenly, voices crackled through his helmet. Someone was hit. #4 The first twelve Takhli jets were all from the Ace of Spades, the 563rd Tactical Fighter Squadron. They were flying against Site 7, supposedly one of the SAMs that shot down Leopard Two, the F-4C from Ubon, three days earlier.
