New F-105 at FTW Vets Memorial Airpark

Tue Mar 25, 2008 9:59 am

The Fort Worth Veterans Memorial Airpark at Meacham Airport has added a Republic F-105 Thunderchief to their collection. It's still in pieces, but it is a complete aircraft. I saw the wings, tail, and drop tanks while I was there. I was told it came from a closed museum in Amarillo. They also recently received a Vought A-7 Corsair II and a Cessna T-37 Tweet. Both of those are complete and are in the process of receiving cosmetic restorations. I don't have any identity info, sorry.

Apologies for the lousy photo (cell phone camera). :?

The F-105 is F-105D 60-5385.

The A-7 is A-7B 154479 which I believe was with the Texas Aviation Historical Society at Dumas, TX.

The T-37B, 57-2261, was at the Warner Robins Museum of Aviation.
