Don't sweat it BW, it works. Just set it up properly, and trust your stick inputs in flight.

Boots - I've flown the F-105 three times now...it is very predictable and has an impressive roll rate.
Alpha - That's GREAT news! I knew it would sell fast and glad it is....just a great looking and flying 64mm jet. By the way, the Toys for Tots Fun Fly is tomorrow at Apollo and the Warbird Squadron will be there in force. Wish you were here to join us.

My preferred parking lots were occupied so my larger planes were grounded. 1 hour window before honeydew obligation.Weather was perfect ,very rare upper 50's here in the midwest and 3mph winds. Grabbed the f8 ,off to the youth football field and went flying. To me that is the magic to these 64mm jets, finding multiple locations to fly close to home is easy, batteries are cheap and they fly well. I would much rather have a 64mm plane in the air then just look at my 80 and 90 mm aircraft (relish the time flying them though). The other bonus is that they take up about as much room as my wifes new boots....new boots = new 105(preordered)...

I was stationed in Oklahoma City back in the 70's and use to hang out with a bunch of AF reserve Thud pilots. They were all airline pilots who would come in for the weekend to fly a few missions and raise heck at the O Club. One guy took off and just as he got airborne the AB exploded and the whole back end of his plane was engulfed in flames. He managed to get it around for a safe landing and from that moment on his callsign was "Torch".

"Quid pro quo, Clarice, quid pro quo" <-- That's my new favorite quote of the week.
Even I can't believe how quickly this Thud is selling. Thanks to everyone! I sense the Jet = Shoes equation isn't unique to CFIT Rob.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Discovery Channel Wings was my favorite "must-see" series every week in the late 80's & early 90's, especially the early episodes with the Australian narrator.....good stuff! Here's the classic episode on the F-105 Thunderchief. I love the music! :)Republic F-105 Thunderchief affectionately known as the 'Thud'.

My favorite Wings music was in this episode on the XB-70, starting at 18:20. It added an such an incredible atmosphere and mood to the piece. Years later, I walked inside the former North American Aviation hangar at Plant 42 at Palmdale, CA, where Air Vehicle 2 was built. As I walked around that hollowed facility, the Wings music was in my head....it was eerie!
As a sided note, I first watched this episode in 1989 while stationed at Homestead AFB, FL, I was a 19 year old Airman. If someone back then told me that Col. Joe Cotton would be a dear friend and that I would sit in the cockpit of the XB-70 with him for one hour someday, I would have NEVER believed them. Dreams absolutely come true....never say never!
