Ground Crews

The first thing an F-105 pilot will say when asked about what their time in Takhli and Korat is that they couldn't have done their job without the dedicated and talented ground crews -- mostly young guys a year or two out of high school. Working in the worst conditions imaginable, the F-105 ground crews worked tirelessly to provide the pilots with the best plane possible.

Our documentary will include interviews with ground crews, like this one with James Porter at a 333rd TFS Reunion.
