How long were you in? My uncle flew an F-105 as well, out of Thailand.
Tarawa,
I was at Korat, Thailand, in the 12th TFS, TDY from Kadena, from fall ‘64 until a shoot down on this date, 10Aug65.
We used KC tankers out of Dom Muang, Bangkok every mission. After T/O we would top-off going North, and we were grateful they were available when needed on the way back to base. Sometimes they also went dangerously North to help out when we had a downed bird.
My first name is Matt, wife’s name Margo. Ask your uncle if he knows me.
I served with terrific officers and men, and we were badly served by Johnson, Macnamara and Rusk.
