    Right up there with the very best.
  3. Wow. When I did this I had no idea that in 1958 the F-105 was "included in a shortlist of 14 types selected for German evaluation at Luke AFB, Arizona, but was rejected along with the Convair F-102 and F-106 and the English Electric Lightning as being too expensive." Republic tried again later in the same year adding in sub-contracting deals but the Bonn government did not take up the offer. Offers were also made to the Belgian and Dutch governments quoting a unit cost of $1.4 million. BTW the fly-away unit cost of the F-105B at the end of 1959 was $5.6 million excluding cumulative modification costs.

  21. View File [Fictional] Republic F-105D Thunderchief - West Germany Republic F-105D-5RE Thunderchief for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-105D to create a fictional West German Thunderchief in the 1962-1967 timeline. A USAF skin is also included for joint operations! BACKSTORY When Kennedy and Khrushchev first met at the Vienna Summit in June 1961 there was hope of better relations between the USA and the Soviet Union but in the weeks that followed these hopes faded when the Soviet Union proposed a treaty between Moscow and East Berlin leading to Kennedy countering with a clear statement that any treaty interfering with U.S. access rights in West Berlin would be regarded as an act of war. Upon his return to the USA, Kennedy's advisors told him that Khrushchev was still planning to sign a treaty with East Berlin and advocated an immediate military build-up in Europe including the deployment of the new Republic F-105D's of the 36th Tactical Fighter Wing and the 49th Tactical Fighter Wing with both wings having a primary tactical nuclear strike role. The erection of the Berlin Wall in August 1961 caused Kennedy more anxiety and among a raft of actions he authorised the immediate transfer of 36 F-105D's to the German Air Force with most aircraft coming from the 335th Tactical Fighter Squadron based at Eglin Air Force Base. Entering service in October 1961 with Jagdbombergeschwader 31 at Nörvenich the F-105D's replaced the Republic F-84F Thunderstreak and were operated until late 1967 when the Wing began to receive the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-105D-5RE folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-105D-5RE folder into your Decals folder. That's it! The F-105D-5RE designation is used to prevent conflict with any other F-105D's you may have in your install. CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 1 - 24/11/2022 Submitter Spinners Submitted 11/24/2022 Category What If Hangar
