My personal take is that it's the same model as was given to the Thunderbird team but lack the Thunderbird icon. I'd love to see one with the original icon on the dial.

That ad is cool, showing the F-105B Thunderchief “Thud”. Given that the Air Force Thunderbirds only flew the F-105B for less than a year, six shows only. They had a fatal crash when the aircraft broke apart during aerobatics. They went back to the F-100 for some time.
