Thanks for the no-frills, just-being-in-the-plane vid. Loving the memories in the comments! I bet some of the peeps here could smell these things while typing their comments. Great stuff.

Dad was usaf production test/ acceptance @ Naa palmdale , never had one quit on him . 5000 hrs

I'm I only one old enough to remember that NASA was a private entity and anyone that thought they were ran by gov was conspiracy nuts?

Why does NASA have them?

The instrument to precisely throw a nuke isn´t in the cockpit any more. Were you can see the g force and the roll rate in one glance. 😊

German Luftwaffe also has T38s, stationed in Texas.

such plane

I’ve been seeing a lot more NASA T38 activity over my apartment (near scholes field in Galveston) the past few days. I wonder if it’s a seasonal thing. Do you know anything about the NASA Talons? There some of my favorite planes to see around here!

there was a beautiful Navy TPS T-38 at Oshkosh this year! BuNo 614856. White with light blue, and with a logo of a slide rule and something that looked similar to a F4D on the vertical stabilizer. It did have me scratching my head and muttering "a Navy T-38??". The Talon, as well as the F-5's, are just very cool and graceful looking aircraft. Love 'em!

Just curious, I noticed the throttle moving by itself during start up, could you please explain this? Great video!

That's a really nice bird and very nice to fly it looks like. I played many time with the Sabre in game. I love its design and capabilities. Truly a classic US jet of the Cold War.

We used to see the F-100s at Wethersfield in Essex. They were of the 20th TFW, which later moved to Upper Heyford and converted to the F-III..... It's good to see one back in the air.

I went to an air show where the Thunderbirds were flying F-100’s. Don’t remember the year but the Palm Beach Airport was still a military base at the time.

One of my favourit !!!!❤🇮🇹

Is it airworthy?

Jerod, are the flight control computers solid state or vacuum tube driven?

Wow, great to see a Thud still flying! Last saw this 'in real life' when the Michigan ANG had them at Selfridge (my B-I-L flew them back in the mid-70s).

Do the hydraulics need to be bled on every flight?? Or is this a by product of long periods between flights?

Hu b da pilot? 🤔

This plane was inherently unstable and prone to malfunction. It killed a lot of pilots.

A fighter? Actually a trainer. Remember that.

Takes a fine pilot to pull a perfect 1g barrel roll

You've mentioned the landing speed of 170 knots before, but that's still surprisingly high... to me. I used to work on Skyhawks, which (if memory serves) landed closer to 150 knots. Both the A-4 and the F-100 have leading edge slats and flaps, but the F-100 impresses me as having more wing span. The F-100 probably weighs a lot more, so maybe that's the reason for the high landing speed? Or is it just that the USAF knows that it has a few miles to slow down? 😉 Nice to see the start-up process. Glad that no modern aircraft have to bleed the hydraulics after starting! Thanks for the video!

HELL YEAH

Flying my Hun from Ellington Field in FSX!

Great video again thank you 👍🏻

It looks like a three ring binder and water bottle on the front cockpit dash. How do these stay in place during an aileron roll? Have you noticed any debris or dust falling to the canopy when inverted? How long can this aircraft stay inverted? When these flew with the Thunderbirds were they modified for inverted flight? Kudos to all the ground crew.

Great footage. What was Rick Sharpe's main aircraft? I assume he might have been a Tomcat and later a Hornet guy.

Awesome video! Was really interesting hearing about all that's going on around the aircraft as it's being started, taxied and flown! Hearing how all the hydraulics work on startup is cool. Can't wait to see the next video! On another note, I did my first ever landing in a glider last weekend which I flew on my own for the whole landing under instruction by the instructor! Still absolutely buzzing about it, certainly something i'll never forget.

Is your F-100F an ex Danish AF one? I know those were retofitted with M-B seats. Our local ANG flew F-100's from late 1973 thru late 1978 when they received F-105G's...

i heard that f100 is a jet that is really hard to fly and crashed a lot in airforce, so really admire you can fly that aircraft so flat and smooth

Absolutely amazing you have this thing flying.

My uncle flew F-100s between Korea and Vietnam. Great bird! Would have been nice to hear the radios. 😉

The Century Series of tactical aircraft are some of the coolest ever built. A couple of Snake Eyes under the wings and in business!

I spent 6 years of my career on J-57s in F-8 Crusaders. I was an engine mech and high power engine operator. Seems like lots of differences between F-8s and F-100s in how things work. I never had a compressor stall problem on the ground except for one time when I was told to make it chug no matter what. All the chugs in F-8s happened at altitude when the bleed valve governor failed. Also, never had to bleed the hydraulic systems when the engine was running. Aboard ship during Vietnam we had 5 minute alert planes on the cat ready to start with the pilot in the cockpit. The plane would have had all systems checked with a short run and then shut down. When the call came to launch, the huffer would be started and as soon as it was ready air would hit the engine starter. Hose and power would be disconnected, canopy down, downlocks off, cat holdback and shuttle hooked up and within 3 minutes the plane would launch!! Anytime the engine would be shutdown the fuel pressurization and dump valve( P&D) would dump fuel from the engine manifold out the bottom of the plane. I didn't see that on the F-100. Great video and I'm sure it was a lot of fun to fly. Too bad F-8s aren't allowed to be flown. Thanks a lot Jerod!!!!!!!

I grew up during the Vietnam War and built many models of the Warbirds of that time. My brother was Black Ops on EC-47s out of Pleiku and EC-135s out of, er, other locations. He died in 2018 from Agent Orange. He had problems with the VA because his file was TS.

Hope they can finish off the camo paint. Of course, that's a last priority.

Always great to see the F-100 in action. I might have to make another video now :-)

What a great video…a dream but maybe one day i can fly in one.

Thanks for all the work you put into these videos. The explanations are also informative. You have a great crew! Keep these awesome birds flying!

Very good job, guy! Carry this birds on your hands and keep them alive!

Do you have phantoms? really like that hope can see it in the future

Amazing ! I would love to see it live, the F-100 is one of my favorite Vietnam War aircraft (with the A-4).

Are the ejection seats armed?

i saw the USAF Thunderbirds with F-100s when i was a kid at McChord AFB, great show.

My two favourite jet aircraft are the F-86 and the F-100, so thank you for this.

Whats that vapor inside the cockpit?

Look at that cockpit….looks like a piper cub on steroids

Watch out for the sabre dance during landing anyway.

What is that big ugly box on the dashboard ? It should be relocated underneath.
