F-100 F Super Sabre Vietnam War Info request

Tue Aug 18, 2009 4:16 pm

Hi,

I'm looking to find some information and pics of the use of the F-100 F 2 seat version for Wild Weasel mission.
It's hard to find pics of the cockpit and pics during service.
I have technical manual of the Super Sabre for single and two seat version but no indication about 'WW'.
I have also, the Squadron Publications for Wild Weasel that give me more information but i want more to see where is specific equipment.
It's impossible to have access to the specific website of the Wild Weasel.

All pics of F-100 D/F during Vietnam are welcome.

Thanks a lot for your helps.

F-105? Oooops. If you specifically want the rear cockpit of the F-100F, that same Web site has these two photos, labeled as "Rear" and "Later Rear":

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your help.
I'm only interesting by this time for the F-100 F during Wild Weasel operation.
Look to see what type of weapon are use, Shrike, Napalm, cluster bomb or other like ECM underwing pod.
I'm just sure for the 335 US Gal tank.

Cheers
