Hey, Wanna Buy a Cold War Fighter Jet?
A few of the most versatile fighter jets from the Cold War are up for auction and ready to fly—with some exceptions. Two F-100F Super Sabre fighter jets are being auctioned with current bids right around the cost of a decent used car. A veteran of the Vietnam War, the Super Sabre also carried nuclear bombs and could forgo long rolling jet-powered takeoffs in favor of a quick boost into the air on rockets.

If only I were a rich man.......
I was wondering where those Hun's went to. They had been sitting at KBZN for quite a while. MT had a few cold war birds sitting around including an EC-121T and F-89 at Helena. As well as the MTANG has a F-106 that looked like she was in flyable condition.
Very cool - but shutter to think what it might cost per hour to operate
If you have to ask about the cost.... You probably can't afford it... LOL!
I shudder to think about it.
Wow. What a memory maker. I worked on Ds and Fs in SEA and I was on mobile training team MTD 727 based out of Luke that taught the Air National Guard transitioning from F-86s to F-100s.
The bird with the most unique pitot boom in history.
Congressmen were raising hell about so much hair spray and condoms being shipped to Vietnam. We used condoms on M-16 barrels and any disconnected electrical connectors and hair spray was used on every set of accessible fuel quantity indicating system connectors, especially the ones under a panel near the fuselage break for engine rollback. Yes, we bought our own – we used a ton of both products. Love/Hate relationship with those old birds. Didn’t know they were still around in flyable condition.
