I know it's not much but I'm considering this my Platinum special since this is the aircraft that got me back into building replicas in SimplePlanes. (Picture of first attempt at F-100D, no blueprints) I remember nearly refunding this game when I got it back in 2017 and not really playing much until early 2020 when I made the F-100D. Anyway, I'll shut up now.

Author's Notes
- VERY sluggish at low speed. Flaps and VTOL help a lot.
- Before takeoff, I reccomend using full upwards VTOL and flaps. When you retract the flaps adjust VTOL as necessary.
- Yes, fire bomb = napalm.
- The BLU-27's work best when dropped in level flight. If you dive bomb, they sometimes fail to detonate.
- Doesn't make the best use of the new beta features since this build was started before the beta came out. (And I'm lazy.)
- The fuel on this plane is unlimited.
- The ammo on the gun is unlimited.

The Weapons Changelog is something new I'm trying out, partially so it can help me remember xml values, but also so I can highlight new weapons and get feedback regarding weapon statistics if you guys have any.
@ReinMcdeer we need a g4 super Sabre to go with the F-104
@WAR122 It is pretty heavy, but it is flyable if you use VTOL and flaps. The drop tanks also make a huge difference.
amazing! love the f100, it is one of my favorite jets of all time.
When u gonna make a more realistic plane like a new p51 c or h idk
He's too heavy to fly.
The f100d reminds me of the age of them
I made a T-45 do u like it @ReinMcDeer
@ReinMcDeer another great plane from another great creator, that's all I care about, well done
