I know I am dating myself a little here, but Eglin AFB used to have a number of F-100's used as drones. Doesn't seem like all that long ago--10 maybe 15 years.
Never know, ours may have come from that group. It has the orange tailfeathers and has been hit by an ait-to-air missile but, missing one horizontal stabilator, flew 45 minutes back to base and landed ... and now we have it on display. Can get pics Saturday. You might recognize it.
its not military, but am in the midst of redoing a JDT Vmax....a minimax with a 4 cylinder vw engine. and when i was young helped my dad sand dwon a piper cherokee for painting.

Not sure, but I thought the F-100 minus a few tail feathers at PoF was one of the ones converted by Flight Systems in Mojave in the late 80's. And the missile was an AIM-120 shot over White Sands in '88. If so I doubt it was ever a drone at Eglin.
