With the new role as a fighter/bomber the F-100C had improvements over the “A” variant such as a strengthened wing with six hard-points to carry up to 5,000 pounds of bombs, rockets, fuel tanks or a Mk. 7 nuclear weapon. The F-100C also received a new electronic bombing system and an in-flight re-fueling probe. A new engine increased speed at altitude by 40 mph and reduced time to climb to 35,000 feet by 10 percent. The 479th Wing Commander Colonel George “Ravin’” Laven Jr. selected a new F-100C for his personal aircraft. Its serial was 54-2076, the same last four digits of the P-38 he flew in 1942-43. In four years Colonel Laven logged over 2,000 hours and was the only military officer during that time to ever fly the aircraft. After several years the aircraft went to the New Mexico ANG who spent time in Vietnam. Upon returning to the US 2076 along with 91 other F-100Cs were sold to Turkey and flew until the early 1980’s.
