This F-105F flew combat missions in 1969-70 with the 354 TFS, 355 TFW out of Takhli RTAFB, Thailand. On 10 March 1984 it made the last flight of a F-105F when it was flown from Hill AFB, Utah to Chanute AFB. When the base closed in the early 1990s it was transferred to the Octave Chanute Museum. The museum closed in 2015, and sadly this a/c did not find a new home. It was scrapped in early 2019.
