The first of two prototypes of Republic's next-gen to the F-84F, this is Republic YF-105A-1-RE Thunderchief 54-098 (there was no XF-105) "FH-098" coming in for a landing ca. Oct '55, later becoming the largest US single-seat, single-engined fighter ever fielded. Originally powered by a P&W J57 engine while the P&W J75 was still under development, the YF-105s were made w/o Richard Whitcomb's area-ruled fuselage that was incorporated into all models from the F-105B on, but was still able to achieve Mach 1.2 during testing. This a/c flew until 16 Dec 55 after which it was written off due a landing gear-related mishap.
