Okay gang, I've got a really, really obscure question for you. What does this stencil say? It's on Air National Guard F-100Ds and Fs that have been fitted with the reinforcement bandaid just above the stencil:

F-100Dfuselagereinforcingplate.jpg

I don't know where I found this photo, so I can't contact the owner for a higher-res scan. It's of an Arkansas ANG jet and the photographer is "[somebody] Bell and John Boy." The top part of the stencil looks like "??? modified hoist" and the lower part says "assembly" and the serial number for the hoist assy., which I have. Anyone have a good shot of this area on an ANG jet?

Thanks!

Ben

Ben, So far I have not found a clear enough shot where the words are legible. Still looking though!

Hi Herc,

All I have are a couple of shots of a 178th jet and three or four 180th jets. I can post them if you're interested. Michael Benolkin has a couple of 179th jets here:

Cliff, thanks for looking! I've been looking all over, and have found a lot of great shots of that area of the jet, but they were all Vietnam-era Huns without the band-aid. :crying:

Cheers!

Awesome! When I was a kid, we lived right off the end of one of the runways at McConnell. I'd sit outside on the swing set, so I could see over the fence and get a good view of everything coming and going. When they were landing, they were ony a few hundred feet up, low enough that you could see the pilot. I remember a constant stream of F-100s, F-105s, B-52s, and the occasional F-4C. I got to where I could tell what plane it was by the sound of the engine. The F-4s sounded like a siren when they'd come down the approach. This was mid- to late-'60s, so everything was camouflaged by then.

Thanks for posting!

Cheers!
