I have heard that a 2-seater is possibly destined to fly, but thats as much as I can say right now. 8)

Paul Allen has a F-105 in a storage hanger at Arlington. Moving to Paine Field with a long runway.

Maybe?

Then that would make it a F-105F or "G" and not a "D" model, that were talking about.

Unless I'm missing something.

It's been a few months since I last heard anything, so maybe it changed. But my last info was it was to be a 2 seat model. Frankly, if someone gets a F-105 in the air, it could have lawn chairs strapped to the wings and I'd be happy. :)

If the Brits (actually a few South Africans and Yanks) can fly Lightnings, surely someone can keep a Thunderchief in the air. :D

Hope it's true.

God himself might have enough money to keep a Thud in flying trim . . . or Paul Allen, but he's already loaned God enough money. I would say Bill Gates, but he's too busy figuring out how to keep my blood pressure up (a MAC is next!).

You know, Wade, that's what they said about a civilian F-4. And I know that you've personally seen one up close.

Heh heh. Point well taken.

Heck, I'm not in any way saying I don't want them to do it - I'm still looking for my first F-105 ride in xchange for a mural for Mr. Allen (well, maybe a 72" wide "mini-mural")!

So, maybe I should reconsider my future MAC purchase? :lol:

Thx,

Wade

I'll fly behind you in the 105, Hacker (after you're properly checked out) ! You almost flew me in your '38 - so, you still owe me a ride (in sumthin). :D
