Jack's comment: I was unable to get any pictures from the reunion; several folks said they would send some, but none were presented. I'm always happy to add comments and pictures, so send them along.

I crewed the Thud at Kadena and later TDY to Korat with the 388TH TFW. I remember some of the faces and aircraft. I knew Bill Thomas from Kadena. and Maj.David Stone both killed in Thuds. After all these years I have the honor of crewing a F-105F at the Pacific Coast Air Museum. Tail number 331. We just started to restore her with a nice clean paint job and show her this past weekend in our annual air show. Any one with knowledge of 331 or pictures can contact me at

This is a great site, thanks for all the work putting it together.

Bane, Thanks for the information. Now have you included and an email is on the way. Take care, Jack

No one sent any pictures of this event.

I have just been sent your webpage today, and I must admit it is quite interesting, learning more than before.
I am Ray Lewis's sister, and have just learned of this major F-105 pilots and family, learning about a wonderful man, whom I only knew as my oldest brother who flew jets and was MIA until 1989 (from 1966). A very long time to anguish over his condition. I have now been able to put a closure and this weight coming off my heart.
I was only 16 when Ray went MIA, so learning about this side of his F-105 Family is truly a miracle in my eyes.
Roscoe (Ray's dog) is American, I just can't prove it. He got him on "a street corner" and followed him home, according to Ray, just like the story he smuggled him into Japan in his F-105 (another character) of Ray's. Ray was the most charactis, funny, gentleman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Apparently, he was loved and his personality preceded his death, with many family members from the F-105. Here 40+ years later learning about this man I adored, is truly a miracle for me.
Thank you Jack, for your great words and stories.

Hi Jack, I looked all over your site, its a Great one. Glad to see you Honor all your fellow River Rats.
Like I told you, I'm the Son of Wild Weasel #99 Vincent A. Scungio Major. USAF M.I.A. 4, Nov. 1966. I'm not sure about all these Pilots in the 35th, But Hopefully some of them will remember his name. I do know that the F-105D Pilot that was on the Mission that fateful day with my Father refused to give any information about the incident. Hopefully like I said some of you will read this and remember flying with Him.
