RidgeRunner Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Hi again all! My last posting of Thud images, with a few shots from my early morning visit to Dobbins ANGB in October 1980. As was always the case, my guide - Jerry Luke - was extremely accommodating, allowing us free access around the ramp before taking us off to the Last Chance to get some departure shots. This was at a time when the residents of the base were operating great types like the OV-1 Mohawks(USAR), C-7 Caribou, (AFRES), A-7 Corsairs (USNR) and OV-10 Broncos (USMCR) . The departure shot below was a pair that followed a USNR C-118B. As you can imagine, I'm sure, the excitement meter was red lining by that time! . We were pretty much at the runway edge Present were: Serial Number Name Vietnam-era name Variant 62-4417 none not known F-105F 62-4422 none not known F-105G 62-4423 none not known F-105G 62-4425 Kloyjai Kloyjai F-105G 62-4432 none not known F-105G 62-4438 none not known F-105G 62-4439 none Trukin Mama/Hopeless F-105G 62-4440 none Zero F-105G 62-4442 none The Freek F-105G 62-4444 none not known F-105G 62-4446 none Sneaky Pet/Silent Majority F-105G 63-8265 none Northbound F-105G 63-8275 none Nemesis/Bonnie and Clyde F-105G 63-8292 none not known F-105G 63-8304 none Mad German Express F-105G 63-8306 none Bad Sam/Tyler Rose/Puerto Rico Air Pirate F-105G 63-8313 none Sod Buster/True Grit F-105G 63-8319 none Sam Seeker/Linda Jean/Sinister Vampire Tuffy/Hugger Mugger F-105G 63-8328 none not known F-105G 63-8332 none Draggin bottom F-105G 63-8336 none Patience F-105G 63-8339 none Thor's Hammer/Road Runner F-105G 63-8345 none not known F-105G 63-8355 none not known F-105G 63-8363 none not known F-105G I have to "hands up" and say that I have posted some of these images before but those were all victim of the Photobucket fiasco, hence the re-post.
