Cowlings?😳 Jman

AO3, I was Plane Captain for 2 years in the early 70's on the F4J while stationed at NAS Miramar CA. I was so proud of knowing that plane inside and out. Twin J79's. Just an awesome aircraft.

You should get a F-104 Starfighter, there is not enough footage coming out of Kennedy space centre. 😂

Listo para la primera sacudida de cucarachas😅😅😅😅

Love it!! Can’t wait to fly it again sometime!

I can’t believe it’s the last flyable example- heck I remember flights of these and Guard versions in the tarmac. Glad to see you keeping them flying

To kool for words! Thanks for the memories!

Radome paint... best shoes on parade.

Love the smeared blood from previous phixers...

wow! I just remember airshows in the late 80s early 90s how LOUD this plane is. I loved seeing the F14s fly for the swept wings but this beast was so loud it got everyone's attention!

Check your safety wire job. You went the wrong way with a couple of those. Been there done that when I was a young airman back in the day.

Otra sacudida de las cucarachas.

Love it!

Does the F4 use skydrol?

Better get use to that master caution light. 🫡🇺🇸🤣

Great vid man! Thanks!

Man DCS has gotten realistic looking as hell. Just kidding, glad to the old girl back up in the air. Keep’em flying!

Loved the video! It was great to see the F100 phlying again.

Saw an F4 do two passes at Sun N Fun about 20yrs ago. Very impressive. Which I could have seen them fly more.

I was fortunate to be inside the other airworthy F-100 about a year ago, didn't get to fly in it (I don't have that kind of money lol) but I got to open and close the canopy which was awesome

That is freaking awesome!

Nice to see her moving her "feathers". Can't barely wait to to see her making some noise 😁.

Dude, that was awesome. I think it's amazing that you guys can keep these complex beasts flying as civilian aircraft. Hats off to that 07.

Looks like the canopy caulking needs to be replaced. Yikes

You look and sound like my brother-in-law. That's not a bad thing, he's a cool dude too

I was a weapons loader on F-4 C's and D's in the late '80s based at McConnell in Wichita, KS. They had more sharp edges than a nuns' ruler-when working underneath we wore Navy hard cranial helmets to avoid head shots. You weren't considered a member of the fraternity until you received your first "Phantom bite." Most of ours were veterans of Vietnam.

cool, thnx

So how many people will collings kill with this?

cockpit meant to be that smokey ?

Outstanding! My Dad flew the F-100………… about the time I was born…late 50’s

Amazing footage!

As a former Viper, Night Hawk and Raptor Crew Chief it's wonderful to see the testing go so well. Seeing that style mule brought back a lot of memories for me. I always enjoyed using them once you learned the tricks to operating them correctly. Especially the newest ones made for the Raptor and it's 5000 psi hydraulic systems which were VERY particular with getting the system bled. Even more crazy, you actually ran that mule in "test stand" while connected to the aircraft for some tests. If all goes well, I know how Phantoms can be a PITA, I hope she'll make it to Wings over Houston. Seeing her fly in person is worth the trip down there from my area of Texas.

Simply beautiful!

I really like the F-100. Always have. It was my favorite Thunderbird aircraft and then the T-38. The Viper comes last. I don't know why I like the T-38 better. I remember 1976 and the Bicentenial - I was six years old and then the "Six Million Dollar Man" had an episode where he "flies" with the Thunderbirds so maybe that's it. The colors were cool during the Bicentenial. It's too bad the gas crisis left the Navy with the Skyhawk. Not that I don't like the A-4, but it had no afterburner. You gotta have an afterburner.

Boners all around.

Thanks for the ride! That was so cool

Been fortunate enough to see the other airworthy F-100F at an airshow back in 2010. The Hun instantly became a favorite. Great to know this one flying too and I hope I can see it in person

…awesome! 💯

Wish my dad was still alive to see this, he flew the F-100, F-102, and F89.

Awesome

Not sure how heavy the F-100's canopy is. We received an TO to fabricate a support device for F-16 twin seater one piece conopy, for when the jet is towed around with the the canopy open. Seems there were failures to the cylinder/opening mechanism from all the bouncing about. The sealant on the canopy glass looks like it's due for a redo. If I lived closer I'd be happy to redo it with PRC 1422 B2. Done this work a few times on Phantom windscreens. A shop vac., polycarbonate scrapers of verious shapes, lots of MEK and gauze. looks like a weeks to 10 days job. Need about 3 pints of PRC. I've never even seen an F-100, but it's wonderfull to see one in flight condition and looking good. Thank you for sharing this footage.

CODE 1 ?

What is the cabin smoke?

Amazing result from all the teams work.... Must be very fulfilling to see that aircraft back in the air once more... Congratulations 😊

Thank you! Awesome aircraft!

Love the sound of the J57. Nothing else like it.

Cool footage, thanks for sharing.

Nice ! And thanks for the raw audio. No silly music. 😁

Hell Yea!!!!
