Falsely painted as USAF F-100D 55-2879, this is actually the first production F-100C, USAF 53-1709. This aircraft was officially delivered to the USAF on 29 Oct 1954 but made its first flight on 17 Jan 1955. It was transferred to NACA (later NASA) on 4 Sep 1956, and retired in 1972 (last registration used was N703NA). In Sep 1972 it was donated to the San Jose State University for use as an instructional airframe. It stayed there until moved to the Castle Air Museum in 2003/2004, where it was restored in the fake markings seen here. It was first noted on display as such in Dec 2004.

Tail markings have faded, but serial "477575" and code "Dinjan - 13" can still be read. Dinjan refers to RAF Dinjan in India, which from 1942 until 1945 was used by the USAAF Air Transport Command as an auxiliary airfield to nearby Chabua, and where a few transport units were based. The badge next to the roundel says "Air Transport Command - Army Air Forces". Also note the "Tiger Fleet" titles on the fuselage. This Curtiss Commando is ex N54510 and was donated to the museum in 1983 by Fred Patterson III.
