I was stationed at Hill AFB when they flew out the last two F-105's from the reserve squadron here. As an 'aside' let me state that it wasn't "apparent" to JUST the pilots when they put their "foot-into-it" for take off! I was at the opposite end of the runway when they spooled up for take off, the thunder kind of sent a thrill up you spine but when they lit off the burner and kicked in the injection system there was this deep, penatrating "THUD!" that rocked me back on my heels.I'd never really appreciated the "Thud" all the much before that evening, but I damn well won't ever forget them )Randy
