Boy that formation would look even better with a F-105!

OK OK - for all my whining about it not being in T-Bird colors it really does look good. Great video and nice tribute.

A terrific video. Thanks for sharing. I agree, hope the F-105 can be a 4th in that formation someday....

Don't know if this is the F-100 you saw at Reno (wasn't that in SEA camouflage also?). This F-100 was in Thunderbirds colors until a couple of months ago or so.

The Collings F-100F and Dean Cutshall's F-100F in Fort Wayne, IN are the two currently flyable Super Sabres I am aware of. Don't know if there might be another or not.

The one in Reno is in SEA camo and is flyable but I do not think it has flown recently. If you count that one, Cutshall and Collongs, that makes three flyable.

Way cool video and very powerful at the same time.

I still dont get the govs deal on the 105 though. They can have a f-4, a-4, f-100, but not a 105. What are they afraid of??? The gov should be happy that there is a group that wants to show and use her.

unless I am mistaken there are two or three F-100F sabres in Montana that are very close to flyable - in fact my understanding is they just need an annual and they are ready to go.
