Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA2513 F-105 Thunderchief 60-0424 "MICKEY TITTY Chi" 34th TFS/388th TFW Korat RTAFB, Thailand 1967.
On June 3, 1967 F-105D 60-0424 nicknamed “MICKEY
TITTY Chi” flown by Major Ralph
L. Kuster Jr. of the 34th TFS/388th TFW stationed at Korat RTAFB, Thailand was part of the attack flown
against Bac Giang railway bridge.
The F-105s flew a tight pod formation so they could deploy
their ECM effectively against the SAMs and AAA fire. Kuster was the lead and used
his gun camera to record the positions. Departing, they encountered
MiG-17s, Kuster and another F-105 destroyed both. 60-0424 was lost to AAA fire one month later.
