"F-105B 57-5819
Was marked as a Thunderbird; although they did fly F-105Bs for a short period, this is not one of them. Repainted and remounted for 466th TFS, Hill AFB UT in 2009.
Tail says 57-0817; Air Force records say this is 57-5819." ~ A SURVEY OF DISPLAY AIRCRAFT IN MISSOURI, by Rick Morgan
"The F-105 aircraft has been at the entrance to the Chillicothe Municipal Airport along US Hwy 36 since 1985. It was removed for a short period in 2009 to be repaired and repainted. The aircraft is on loan from the .S. Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. The aircraft has a length of 64 feet and wing span of 33 feet. The aircraft's engines have been removed." ~ BruceS
