The Messerschmitt Me 323 Gigant was a German military transport aircraft of World War II. It was a powered variant of the Me 321 military glider and was the largest land-based transport aircraft of the war. A total of 213 are recorded as having been made, a few being converted from the Me 321.

Yes, but do you like it better than '70 Coronets?

Yes, but do you like it better than '70 Coronets?

Now that you mention it, all that's missing is a couple loop bumpers to complete the ugliness.

I thought the 'Thuds' were the Republic F-105 Thunderchiefs?

You might be correct, if so I apologize but any air support was welcome.

No apology necessary, I wasn't there, only relating from what I've read in past.

Thuds WERE the F-105. In the Nam many of them were the Wild Weasels. They would go up to draw enemy fire, as in SAM's, then others would come in once the SAM's radar signal was picked up and bomb the **** out of the site. Balls man!

Fifty years ago on Feb. 9th, the first Boeing 747 took flight. That's fifty years and still in production!
