Republic F-84G Thunderjet
Thunderbirds, Luke AFB, 1954
Captain Jack 'Motto' Broughton was the only captain ever to lead the U.S. Thunderbirds team. The team used 4 different kind of planes during Broughtons leadership. During the Vietnam war Broughton unwillingly retired from the USAF on August 31, 1968, with 43 separate awards and decorations, including four Distinguished Flying Crosses, two Silver Stars and the highest Air Force decoration, the presidentially-awarded Air Force Cross. Broughton avowed that his proudest accomplishment was being combat-qualified in every Air Force fighter from the P-47 to the F-106. Broughton is author of 3 personal memoirs (Thud Ridge, Going Downtown and Rupert Red two). Two of them were about the Vietnam War and were highly critical of the direction of the air war there and the rules of engagement. These books are compulsory reads on most military academies over the world.
