Thanks for watching everyone! If you are enjoying my videos from the National Museum of the USAF, please click the thumbs up button because they're not getting many views and I'm reliant on the advertising revenue to help pay for these videos (because I don't want to do product placement). Cheers!
I went to Tulsa Ok.in 1978/79 the Ok air national guard was still flying the Hun. They were transitioning to the A7. I was working at Sheppard Afb from 1985 to 1990, we were a stop over point for the F-100 drones on their way to Florida. Love seeing them and hearing the hard light of the afterburner. Love your videos. Take care.
Interesting. I missed this video last week. I did not realise that this was used as a Wild Weasel! learn something new every day I guess! I'm looking forward to the F-102 video! That's a great looking aircraft!
Not a fan of nose-intakes, but the F-100 manages to pull off the trick of having one and not looking like a minger. Glad you mentioned the WILD WEASEL variant. Good video.
Hmm, I like them, for their clean looks. The F-86 is one of the cleanest, purest fighter aircraft looks ever designed. This, however, looks like an ant-eater...
@mytube001 Yep - it looks good. The upper lip improves the looks. But I prefer the chin-intakes of designs like the F-16. And if you take an F-86 and pull it very, very hard, by nose and tail, you can almost turn it into an ........... F-16.
Brilliant, the century series are some of the most iconic aircraft of their times. These are the forebears of todays modern fighters, these are the designs and concepts that paved the way for some of the most impressive aircraft ever flown. Looking forward to this series.
In college that is the jet I wanted to fly. I am glad I did not get my wish. I really enjoyed being behind the “hard lighters” that you will showing when I was waiting to take off. The first time scared them hell out of me. I am looking forward to this series of videos.
Neat feature of the Hun that you missed: the drag chute compartment is on the bottom of the aft fuselage. The "fingers" ahead of the exhaust that are on the left side only are to allow the drag chute bridle to go up and over the exhaust.
@@PaulStewartAviation It was actually given to the French in 1958 as a lend-lease, then given back to the USAF in 1967 and then delivered to RAF Sculthorpe in 1977/78
@@PaulStewartAviation Thanks for letting me know. I bought the flight manual it reads like the best sports vehicle you could ever hope for. The air defense SAGE Computer could fly it to intercept incoming threats. The 101 Wonder had a special boron jP fuel for heightened performance and range. I believe the development of the bomber version coincided with the fabrication of small nuclear bomb. The Wonder could launch the Geni Nuclear air to air missile. I knew the pilot who ejected from one at Louisville Kentucky. He referred to the 101 on awe calling it "deadly". The SAGE Computer was incredible and deserves mention. The pilot told me they flew intercepts over the Atlantic Ocean and were ordered to accomplish the intercept then engage on returning to base even it it ment loss of the plane. The entire nuclear bomber mission and variant would by interesting to hears about. Thanks Paul the 101 Wonder deserves your attention.
Very enjoyable to watch, thank you. Still reckon you should do a vid on our Bogan Airline. I reckon that could be fun to watch. Edit; Think Aussieman & just have fun with it ha ha.
Was the Sabre used to fly the Ho Chi Min trail over Laos & Cambodia? They used rockets to mark targets during Vietnam war? I believe their call sign was Misty.
@@PaulStewartAviation hopefully one day it’ll come back over from storage and you can make another trip back to the museum to add it. Also would love to see you do the X-32 and F-15 Streak Eagle if you do ever come back when they are done with them in restoration
@@PaulStewartAviation haha sounds good, I enjoy your vids especially those of the museum aircraft, I live just about an hour south of the museum so I go all the time and always enjoy learning about the aircraft there whenever I can
correct, the F-107 never went into production. There is a prototype in Dayton although sadly it wasn't on display. There is one at PIMA although I didn't film it when I last visited sadly@@grizwoldphantasia5005

In the 1990s, there was a F-100, minus engine, in a hanger at the Mojave Airport.
Paul thanks for the 100 series

Ooo, the iconic Century Series fighters. The 1950's was such an innovative time for aerospace. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series!
Cheers, I plan to release the F-101 video this coming weekend.

Thanks Paul, I had no idea the KC-135 came before the 707! I always had assumed it was the other way around. 👍
Thanks Paul for this awesome video from this wonderful aircraft ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
My favorite series of old jets...looking forward to your next videos.
Glad you like them!
Century series fighters a personal favourite 👌
Same!!!

The F-100. A real no-nonsense workhorse.
Gorgeous updates. Any chance you could let us know the details of the seat cover cloth, curtain cloth and wall covering?
Love your earring too!
Will do
interesting! I'm looking forward to the F-102 video!!
Coming soon!
Fantastic, Paul 🙂

Thanks for the extra info!
Thanks for the vid!
There's a F-100 at the Dumfries and Galloway Air Museum in Scotland - I didn't realise they had one there
Interesting! Did the RAF fly them or was it a USAF bird?
@@PaulStewartAviation It was actually given to the French in 1958 as a lend-lease, then given back to the USAF in 1967 and then delivered to RAF Sculthorpe in 1977/78
Kool video paul
Glad you enjoyed it
Very interesting mate 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Paul as always a fun and informative vlog
Glad you enjoyed it
You might say the F-100 was the last and the greatest of the stovepipe design that introduced jet engines to aviation.
Paul why are you a mind reader? I literally was looking something up on the F-100 last night. Can't wait to see the '104 and '105 episodes!
haha :)
This is just what I need on a Friday!
:)
Quite simply, you deserve more subscribers.
thank you :)
@@PaulStewartAviationAgreed mate! 🥂
Great content again!
Thanks. I plan to finish the F-101 video by this weekend.
I love the 101!

Out of all the planes to try and launch from a tiny rail an overweight boat like the f100 is pretty low on the list!
Thanks so much for the deep dive on the F-100!
My pleasure! Thanks to you guys for allowing me closer access! :)

The wild wiesel? This did do that role briefly
Hi your videos are so good. Will you be making one on the XF-84H "Thunderscreech
Thanks. I'm afraid not as I didn't get around to film that one individually although it will be featured in my whole-museum tour :)
If only they has the F-107 on display for you to have done that as well like the museum of flight did
Agreed! I wish it was!!

yeh I'll definitely return. When I left I joked with the media relations lady that I'll see her again next year :)

@PaulStewartAviation, you'll just have to settle for the one at Pima.
The Thunderbird model, it that the one where the palm trees lay down to take off or the one that launched from under the pool?
Under the pool
@@negativeindustrial Nuts, the palm tree one is my favourite.
I always thought the F-100 was a pretty aircraft. Thanks Paul. Oh but wait, you missed the F-103 in your intro and ...... Oh wait, nevermind.....
😂
@@PaulStewartAviation FYI I have a thing for prototypes
Wasn’t the Bell X-1 flying level when it broke the speed of sound???
It was a rocket
Did they use this two seater as A Wild Weasel?
Correct, as I said in the video :)
Sorry
I jumped before I listened
Like I said I'll sit down and shut up ✌️
@@roberttalarsky4238 haha :)
you forgot the F-107
Never went into service, right? Might not be one at the museum.
@@grizwoldphantasia5005 -- true. I guess the one I saw was in the PIMA Museum at DM
Yep sadly the F107 isnt on display in Dayton
correct, the F-107 never went into production. There is a prototype in Dayton although sadly it wasn't on display. There is one at PIMA although I didn't film it when I last visited sadly@@grizwoldphantasia5005
did woman fly dis darlinks ?
