Jacksonville Museum of Military History

announces...

The First Phase of Operation Aircraft is Complete!!!

We don't know WHEN and we don't know exactly HOW...so what DO we know??? What we DO know is the Jacksonville Museum of Military History has been approved and WILL receive an F-105 Thunderchief for a static display!!! The F-105 will be on permanent loan from the U.S. Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson in Dayton Ohio. Currently, the 1963 aircraft is located at Camp Robinson in N.L.R.

The F-105 affectionately called the “Thud” flew 75% of the air strikes against North Vietnam during the first four years of the Vietnam War. The fighter-bomber is 67 feet long, has wingspan 34 feet 11inches and a height of 20 feet & 2 inches. At full speed the “Thud” could achieve 1,373mph or mach 2.1.

The moving of the aircraft is a work in progress. We will provide more details as they become available.

Stayed Tuned!
