Original C S Waterfall. Year a guess. Location probably RAF Waddington. Converted to QF-100D and shot down. And from the pilot who shot it down - I believe this is the aircraft I shot down as a QF-100D at Tyndall AFB, Fl. Date was 18 January 1985, kill was done by AIM-7E from an F-4D. The missile scored a direct hit and the aircraft came apart immediately, with the wreckage falling into the Gulf of Mexico.
