Offered is a unique display featuring what appears to be an authentic or surplus F-105 “Thud” aircraft pilot control stick mounted to a finished wooden display base. The engraved plaque commemorates Capt. R.C. Amos, noting 100 missions over North Vietnam (NVN) and dated October 22, 1968, making this an especially interesting piece for collectors of Vietnam War aviation memorabilia.
Whether displayed in an office, aviation museum collection, military history room, or pilot’s study, this control stick makes an outstanding conversation piece. The grip retains its classic military appearance with multiple control buttons and trigger-style inputs characteristic of fighter aircraft controls from the era.
This piece is being sold primarily as a collectible display item unless otherwise tested.
