F100D

Oops! Thanks for the correction and apologies. I know better but I wasn’t thinking at all when I wrote Dutch instead of Danish. The RNLAF never used the Super Sabre, so I don’t know why I typed that.

All 23 surviving Danish (not Dutch!) F-100D’s were passed on to Turkey. This aircraft is not one of them.

i was already scratching some not to mention parts when i read Dutch F-100’s… The turks did get our NF-5’s though… but that’s a whole nother ballgame 🙂

Not ex-Danish

Yeah, the Danish ones were fitted with Martin Baker ejection seats! This one has a standard American seat!

All 23 surviving Danish (not Dutch!) F-100D’s were passed on to Turkey. This aircraft is not one of them.

Many thanks for the heads up. I don’t think the owner has been up to it in at least three years. A waste of a great aircraft. Oh yes thanks for pointing out my typo! The finger strayed a little too far to the right on that one!

Cheers
Gary

North American F-100D Super Sabre #55-2888 is still registered to Gregory Forbes of Lodi, CA., as N2011U.

Yes, that Super Sabre came back to the U.S. after serving with the Turkish Air Force in the late 1980’s. It ended up at Tracor Flight Systems, and I assume it was converted to a drone, but I don’t have the info on it with me right now. That was probably about 20 years ago. If it served as a drone it survived because it was registered to a civilian in California a few years ago, but I don’t remember the “N” number. It was built in 1955 and is an F-100D. I think the “F” models were the 2 seat trainer variant. Turkey did have a few “F” models to go along with their fleet of F-100D’s, and except for a few Dutch birds, they all came from the U.S.
