The USAF has the odd habit of presenting its aircraft serials - in this case, 54-2131 - without the first digit. To the French, the serial was 42131. One of 100 supplied to France, this F-100 is preserved wearing the markings of EC 2/11 'Vosges' with the pennant of historic unit SPA 97 on this side. Moved to Toul.
