The Mach 2 capable F-105 conducted the majority of strike bombing missions during the early years of theVietnam War; it was the only U.S. aircraft to have been removed from combat due to high loss rates.Originally designed as a single-seat, nuclear-attack aircraft, a two-seatWild Weaselversion was later developed for the specializedSuppression of Enemy Air Defenses(SEAD) role against surface-to-air missile sites. The F-105 was commonly known as the \"Thud\" by its crews. (Wikipedia)
