The F-105 Thud was totally unsuited for it's role in Vietnam. Out of the Century series only the F-101 was worse suited to dogfighting. Despite being a crappy airframe, the F-105 did manage some air-to-air kills in Vietnam due to superior PILOTING. Originally the F-4 was to be the F-110, but was already named under the Navy's GOOFBALL naming system as the F-4. That one is the only one fully-successful member of the "Century Series" of fighters.
I'm pretty certain a B-1B can safely pull more G's than a Thud.
Ugly as sin to boot.
The Brewster Buffalo is about the only aircraft uglier.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
