The F-107 was intended to be a Mach 2.2 all-weather interceptor based on the F-100. Nine were ordered but only three were completed of which this is the first example 55-5118 and is shown stored in a yard at the now closed Tallmantz Collection at Orange County. It had been fitted with a rudder marked 55120 which was damaged beyond repair on take-off on 01.09.59 when with NASA.
