This F-100 Supre Sabre stood outside for years at the Military Aviation Museum and later the National Military Museum.
The condition of the aircraft deteriorated due to the elements. Since it is the only remaining F-100 in the Netherlands, the National Military Museum decided to raise money for its restoration by means of a crowdfunding campaign.
Especially for a select group of contributors, the restored fighter jet was set up at the museum in Soesterberg and lit up after sunset.
The part where the jet engine is located was deliberately not painted, because it would burn off immediately due to the enormous heat.
This was also the first successful attempt to build a fighter that could fly supersonically in horizontal flight.

Photography became my hobby a few years ago. I photograph different subjects from different places and countries.
Also take a look at my website to see more pictures.
If there is a photo that is not on Werk aan de muur but you would like to order, please let me know...
