(1 Jul 1967 to 1 Dec 1967)
F-100D Super Sabre and the F-105 Thunderchief “Thud” are the stars of this movie shot entirely over the green hills of Vietnam in 1967. This nearly forty-minute video is packed with loads of explosive color Vietnam gun camera footage. This footage contains an engagement with a MiG-17 and lots of bombing of identified targets, strafing, and large explosions.
If you or someone you know served in Vietnam, this movie will allow you to get back into the cockpit of an F-100 Super Sabre or an F-105 Thunderchief and re-fly a mission from long ago.
This volume is complete with a suitable musical underscore and digital sound effects to make the viewing experience as real as it can be. Be sure to turn up the bass and listen to the floor rumble as the missions begin.

Feedback on this Movie
“I flew the F-100 for almost 5 years including 235 combat missions in Viet Nam. The video of F-100 and F-105 gun cameras from Rare Aviation is the only visual memory that I have from that memorable time of my life. I would have no hesitation of doing more business with Rare Aviation again.”
