Photo Comment

Stripped of many parts, and its serial incorrectly written as 55-1773 with a thick marker on the tail, the F-100F is awaiting maintenance for departure to Tracor Flight Systems Inc., Mojave (CA). The Super Sabre arrived at AMARC on 3 May 1979 and departed on 12 February 1990. It returned to service as a QF-100F with the 475th Weapons Evaluation Group with 63773/409 at Tyndall AFB (FL). It's fate is unclear, but it was most probably written off in 1991 as a target drone.
