John,

I haven't dug out my F105-1, but those speeds sound a little low. The basic
speeds I remember were 191 knots for the D and 196 knots for the F, plus
fuel. The fuel factor was 3knots per thousand pounds.

I don't know if you ever flew the F-100, but the figures you list below
sound like F-100-C (they didn't have flaps) numbers. The basic speed for the
F-100-D was 165 knots.

HI Bill -

Final approach speed with 2x450 gal wing tanks and a fuel tank in the bomb  
bay, we used 180 KCAS plus 2 knots per 1000 pounds of fuel in the F-105.  
It usually quit flying between 155 to 160 knots. This was a fairly good  
rule of thumb, but the Dash One has a chart for a wider range of  
configurations/gross weights.

Cheers to a FROG (F     ng Really Old Guy) like me :-))
