This veteran Super Sabre served two tours in Vietnam before consignment to the boneyard and later conversion into a QF-100D Target Drone.  This hardy bird suffered tail damage in 1988 when hit by AIM-120 air-to-air missile fired from F-15 at Holloman AFB, making a forced landing afterwards.  The entire right-hand stabilator was blown off, along with much of the rudder and afterburner casing and rear fuselage skin.  Added to the PoF museum collection in 1997.  Nikon D500 w/18-200mm.
