EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the Republic F-105D Thunderchief 60-5385 at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, awaiting storage and disposal circa 1983. The United States Air Force (USAF) aircraft, with its sleek design and powerful presence, served as a symbol of American military might during the Cold War era.
The F-105D Thunderchief was a key player in the Vietnam War, known for its speed and ability to deliver heavy payloads. This particular model, with serial number 60-5385 and manufacturer serial number D235, had seen its fair share of action before being retired to Davis-Monthan for final disposition.
As it sits on the tarmac against a backdrop of desert landscape, one can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for this iconic aircraft. Its faded paint job and weathered exterior tell the story of years spent in service to its country.
The Peter Butt Aviation Collection has captured this moment in time with precision and detail, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and history of this legendary warplane. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who flew these machines into battle, defending freedom and democracy around the world.
