Hello, I believe the F-100 that came to YAM from Chanute is 54-1785. It is currently marked as a Thunderbird, but I don't think it actually served with them. Does anyone have any information at to it's actual history? Thank you in advance.

The "G" prefix means permanently grounded, doesn't it? Only three months in service; must be the lowest time surviving F-100 around?
