  I&apos;m sure this man knew Major Curtis Abbot Eaton.He flew a F-105 Thunderchief.On <br>August 14,1966 Major Eaton was the number four on a bombing mission deep into <br>North Vietnam.Shortly after pulling off the target he radioed that he had been hit,and <br>was going to eject.The number three aircraft radioed back to ask his position,however<br>Major Eaton did not respond and was not heard from again.He was declared lost in action.<br>The Air Force promoted him to Colonel.I am a very close family friend.Col.Eaton was a veteran<br>of WW-2,The Korean war and Vietnam war.He loved flying loved this country Rest easy Col.Eaton

  My god hearing that you guys weren’t allowed to destroy all the Sam sites makes me really believe what a lot of Vietnam vet’s say that you guys weren’t allowed to win the war.

  Thank you for this wonderful story Colonel Vizcarra…….My very best Buddy Colonel Ted Mollier USAF RETIRED, was himself an F-105 PILOT who flew &nbsp;two 100 mission tours out of Takhli &nbsp;in 1967 And 1969….. a very close friend &nbsp;and Buddy of Colonel Billy Sparks USAF, a F 105F, Weasel pilot, who wrote the book &quot; TAKHLI TALES” in which Ted is mentioned many times. &nbsp;Sadly Billy passed in 2013 &nbsp;after a bout with cancer and Ted also passed on 10 April 2022. &nbsp;Being Ted’s closest friend, he very reluctantly shared some his mission tales &nbsp;( for one of which he earned a Silver Star ), thus &nbsp;it was fantastic to hear your brave stories of the events that earned you &nbsp;Air Force Cross. We are forever indebted to you for your selfless bravery, dedication and sacrifice. May 🙏🏻GOD BLESS YOU 🙏🏻 🇺🇸and All who serve(d). Rusty Iron Mike (USMC).🇺🇸

  McNamara and LBJ were beyond doubt the very best combat strategists Hanoi ever had.

  60 years later, he still turns out detail after detail with such accuracy, it&apos;s amazing! &nbsp;I was a KC-135 Boom Operator, my first air refueling in training was a flight of F-105 Wild Weasels, they have a face only their pilots could love!
