Tom, If you dont want to spend the bucks for a f-100(ist choice) The Rafale would be a great choice... You should contact Yae Baby( Buck Garza) and see if he would part with his airframe. Its a great flyer that will streakkkk or fly slow and great Alpha manuvers.....The firebird is great but we dont have but 1 field to fly it at here locally and the wind has to be from the South to use it....Santa Clause....Make that MR. Santa Clause... lol
