Why I remember the F105D. http://thewall-usa.com/guest.asp?recid=55653 Jim's Dad was base commander of Sheppard Air Force Base in the 1957 and 1958 era. My first meeting was Jim walking up to our house with a few buddies to introduce themselves and to invite me to the baseball team. I met his brother Ed(astronaut) at that time. I believe he was in flight training at that time overseas as I remember. They were very athletic and born leaders. Too bad we lost both doing for their country.
I guess my favorite was the F80, only because the T33 was my favorite at the time and it was a trainer. I also liked the F89D that was at the old Ladd AFB in Fairbanks, Alaska in the middle 50s.
