Original C S Waterfall. Year a guess. The markings on the F-100 are the tri-colour Alars. That was established in 1962. Around 1965 they removed the 48th shield emblems from the tail next to the tri-colour alar. From a correspondent - I was crew chief on 833 from around 1966 to around 1968. I have pictures of 833 after it crashed into a tower in Europe. The plane survived the crash. Tore 275 tank off right side....plus some damage to wing ....pilot was Lt Smith.
