Here is the story of the restoration. . Badass. I'm not crazy about the Tchickens but thrilled to hear they are honoring Devlin and the sexy 105. Thanks for the link.
December 2, 201213 yr Always wondered what that old F-105 display was every time I saw it in among a bunch of junk in the RV storage lot on Nellis. Figured it was just an old diplay from in front of T-bird hanger. Can't believe a memorial was just thrown among the trash back there. Reminds me of a story about some shoeclerk wanting to fix the holes on the headquarters building at Hickam, unaware of the fact that they were bullet holes from the Japs.
December 3, 201213 yr Ridiculous that it was removed in the first place. And yet, some people still think that the AF 'doesn't have any heritage'.... Well, jesus, this is exactly why.
