This F-100C is painted in the markings of the 4510th C CTW at Luke AFB. It actually was last active with the 162nd TFTG/AzANG. The aircraft received its name (Discovery) thanks to its participation in the commemoration of the 350th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown in 1957, Virginia: Discovery was the name of one of the ships that sailed to the new English colony Virginia, which led to the founding of Jamestown in 1607.
