Named 'Beagle' by its ground crew, this F-105 Thunderchief (tail code JE-458) is captured in a close air-to-air profile against clear Southeast Asian skies. The F-105 flew the bulk of U.S. Air Force strike missions over North Vietnam during Operation Rolling Thunder, and personalized nose art like this was a common way for maintenance crews to build esprit de corps with the aircraft they kept flying.
