I was going through a box of old "stuff" and came across this early photo of an F-105 Thunderchief and a Republic test pilot. Unfortunately, the original clipping on the back has been lost-to-time, and I was wondering if anyone can identify the pilot?

Ok, well now I'm having trouble posting the photos (thank god for the edit button!).

It's on my desktop so there isn't a URL to link to ... any suggestions?

In order to upload a photo to a forum you have to have the photo hosted on an online photo hosting website like photobucket. Once the photo is uploaded to that site, there is a link to copy and paste into forums.

Ok - let me see if I can figure that out. Thanks for the tip.

No go! Using the "share" link option provided by Photobucket only produces this line of gibberish:

Here is the corrected link.

My Dad has an "inside" book on the history of Republic/Fairchild that's quite nice. Next time I'm over there I'll take a look at it and see if this pic is in it, and identified.

Buzz number looks like FH-152; that would be either 58-1152 or 61-0152, both w/o in stateside accidents in the '70s.

All right, Mister Dorfmann, start pullin'!
Pilot: "Flap switch works hard in down position."
Mechanic: "Flap switch checked OK. Pilot needs more P.T." - Flight report, TB-17G 42-102875 (Hobbs AAF)

To assist Dale, here is a closeup of the pilot from his photobucket page.
