What Aircraft Have You Helped Restore/Maintain?

[Capt. Vick]

Went to the Cradle of Aviation Museum today and saw my pride and joy:

With my other two pride and joys in an A-6 cockpit:

Neat pics. Love the straight-wing F-84 from an aesthetic point of view, but understand its speed limitations as a result of it.

F-100 is way cool and is really the "Suoer Sabre." What a neat aircraft. Wish we had a few more flying.

Good on ya'.

We have an F-100 but I do NOT know the restoration plans.

I know I am dating myself a little here, but Eglin AFB used to have a number of F-100's used as drones. Doesn't seem like all that long ago--10 maybe 15 years.

Never know, ours may have come from that group. It has the orange tailfeathers and has been hit by an ait-to-air missile but, missing one horizontal stabilator, flew 45 minutes back to base and landed ... and now we have it on display. Can get pics Saturday. You might recognize it.

They were restoring an A-4F Skyhawk at the museum I was volunteering at. I got to stare at it a few times. Does that count?

Not sure, but I thought the F-100 minus a few tail feathers at PoF was one of the ones converted by Flight Systems in Mojave in the late 80's. And the missile was an AIM-120 shot over White Sands in '88. If so I doubt it was ever a drone at Eglin.

T!
