F-105B makes sense, it is the right timeframe.

The F-105B's service with the USAF was relatively brief, being superseded by the all-weather F-105D version beginning in 1964. The surviving USAF F-105Bs were then transferred to the Air National Guard. The first surplus F-105Bs reached the 108th TFG, New Jersey ANG on April 16, 1964. The New Jersey ANG retained a few F-105Bs until 1981, when they were finally sent off to the boneyards.
Although the Air Force disposed of most of its F-105Bs during 1964-65, they retained a few F-105Bs for training purposes at McConnell AFB in Kansas until late 1969.
