A U.S. Air Force F-100 Super Sabre on the ramp at the Iowa Air National Guard’s 185th Air Refueling Wing has been repaired and repainted in preparation to be placed back on static display. The Iowa Air National Guard unit flew the F-100 for 16 years between 1961 and 1977.

It looks very nice although I'm not a fan of painting the canopy.

I assume that painting the canopy stops the plexiglass from going cloudy.

Correct, it will protect any interior that is left plus it seems to cut down on vandalism for some reason.
