jet warbird info needed i.e. F-100s and A-3's.

Sun Jun 05, 2011 12:47 pm

hi all,

I am doing some work for the new us-aircraft site being made. We are collecting info on U.S. built jet warbirds that are still flying today. I am working on F-100's and A-3 Skywarriors at the mement. I have some questions and was hoping someone here can answer them.

-Dean Cutshell flies a F-100F. What serial number is it?
-The Collings F-100F. What serial is this jet? I have some photos being kindly sent to me of it. But I am also interested in a good flying shot of it. I will give credit.


-SKywarriors-If I am correct only 3 fly now: N875RS, N877RSs, and N878RS. Would anyone of have pictures of these?
-OF the A-3's that have been scrapped recently have these flown in the last 10 years? If so looking for photos and serial #'s, etc.

Look forward to any help. Please email me at warhawknm@yahoo.com or PM me here.

Thanks,
Nathan

Only 2 Skywarriors are still active at VNY, the third (N878RS) having been retired to NAS Whidbey Island recently

Thanks Mike! Very much appreciate it.

I am curious what other A-3's were flying within the last 10 years? I know Mojave boneyard had several in storage but I am guessing these were for parts to keep the Raytheon one's flying? I guess what I am trying to ask is...in total how many did they fly within 10 years?

More info needed I am affraid. :wink:

Thanks,
Nathan
