Every time I see one of this I hope it is Captain Jerry Mundt. I wore his POW bracelet as a kid until it crumbled into pieces.

Likely Maj. Goodman was flying the F-100 when he was in the Thunderbirds. This is what it would have looked like in his day.
Safe passage...

"D"..
..they tried the "THUD" for a while in "64" for 6 months, but it was too heavy and a pilot was killed and went back to the 100...they didn't change again till 69 and went with the F-4....(my personal choice *smiles* since I had a love/hate relationship with it

Bump for an American hero.

I never was fond of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. To me, it smacks of Pentagon interference in wanting to have an everything for every branch of fighter platform, resulting in many versions bordering on the point of absurdity. It is satirized in this cartoon here:
And it was ugly...
