The F-100F is a two-seat variant that played a pivotal role as a “Fast FAC” or Misty FAC (forward air controller) during the Vietnam War. It undertook perilous low-level missions to identify targets for other fighter-bombers, reconnaissance, and search and rescue (SAR) operations. Notably, it was the first aircraft to serve in the “Wild Weasel” SEAD (suppression of enemy air defenses) missions. The “Hun” completed over 360,000 combat sorties throughout the Vietnam War until operations ceased in 1971.
