phantomfixer Posted October 2, 2019 Share #4 Posted October 2, 2019 That would make a wicked war room display... all those B5s ... at least 3 of the P4s have the hardman receivers...nice! Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Posted October 2, 2019 Share #5 Posted October 2, 2019 Nice, always wondered what the backpatch was used for. Here it is in color. The 335 TFS was responsible for the initial operational testing (Category III) of the F-105. Randy Link to post Share on other sites

Randy Posted October 3, 2019 Share #9 Posted October 3, 2019 Great looking patch!! Here is another pic that was with the group. image.jpeg Thanks. Those are F-105B models. This was probably taken at Eglin where the 335 TFS temporarily located to do their operational testing in the late 50s/very early 60s. Soon they would be replaced by the F-105D.
