F-105D Thunderchief
《 'Pontiac 3', roll in. 》
This is stupid, this is totally stupid.
Today's objectives extend from power plants to substation facilities.
Attacks on thermal power plants are not allowed.
Besides that, attacks on grounded MiG's are not permitted.
Explosives may not be dumped in the vicinity of Hai Phong port.
Also, all shipping in that area may not be attacked.
"Don't shoot them, we're not allowed to attack." ... Does Washington actually intend to win this war?
Anyway, in fine weather...what kind of weather is this!?
Had the weather been worse, we could have done this without getting shot at.
Where the hell are the Weasels?
■ At a glance it may seem slim, but in reality this large and bulky American built Thunderchief can be considered the absolute deluxe fighter. During the Vietnam war they were employed too often, and around half of those produced were lost. Despite the weaknesses inherit in single-engine aircraft, it's construction was solid and it could withstand attacks well. Such a sturdy, solid plane is very cool!
