| Kennie Thompson Sangerville, ME | I was a crew chief on the Hun for ages....Clark, Cannon, England AFB, Phan Rang and a multitude of other exotic ports of call. My last duty with her was Vietnam and the 615th TFS, 66-67. She was a rugged old girl, tough as nails. I hated to leave her over in Vietnam and I found out she never got a chance to strut her stuff on a pedestal back in the world.....her last hit made her a part of the ground in S.Vietnam. Lots of memories of this old girl... 01/29/2010 @ 04:34 [ref: 25648] |

| Jim Hicks Tucson, AZ | F-100D 25NA, 55-3695 crashed on March 4, 1964 Out of Luke AFB. Crash was on the Gila Bend Gunnery Range and was fatal to the pilot. 12/18/2008 @ 09:14 [ref: 23271] |
| charles sellick brick, NJ | I was with the 7272 OMS in Wheelus AB Libya North Africa from March 64 to Aug 65 and crewed a few F100D while there. We use to tow darts for the 105's from Germany and the F101 VooDoo's for gunnery practice. One time the dart did not release (or maybe the pilot released late) and when it did it went through the exchange roof. Always remembered to have to put the 02 into buildup before the pilot got there or you could be in big trouble. 11/14/2008 @ 18:05 [ref: 23070] |
| Ron Paul Leicester, NY | I served in the Aero Repair Unit of the 48th FBW, Chaumont, France. (1956-1958) Our wing lost a number of F-100-Ds due to engine bearing failures possibly caused by faulty CSD units and False fire warning triggers due to rain water contamination of the fire warning system cannon plugs at the fuselage split line. We also saw several Ds damaged beyond repair due to runway accidents (drag chute failures, blown tires, short landings etc) I recall only one fatal accident which occurred during F-100 transition training in Morocco. 08/28/2008 @ 09:35 [ref: 22567] |
| Joe Scherrer , MO | I worked on the C/D models at torrejon AB, Madrid Spain while in the 401st Tactical Fighter Wing. I was a J57 jet engine mechanic. I remember the most fun thing to do was to "reshape" the cages for the afterburner nozzle. I was also an engine crew leader, and worked the test cell. 06/04/2008 @ 12:07 [ref: 21112] |
