I'm a former USAF aircraft mechanic now retired. I worked on more modern aircraft, mostly the F-16 but some items are similar to all fighters. @2:32 the writing for some fuel system component. Below the word "FUEL" it does not say "TO" it says; T.O. 1F-100-?? which is a "technical order" or a technical manual then the number. @2:37 is possibly a cylinder for either nitrogen or oxygen. @2:52 is an electronic component possibly for radios or navigation that was likely in an equipment bay. @3:00 is the nose landing gear which is still in the retracted position. @3:39 is one of the main landing gear wheel brakes, still attached to the MLG shock strut. On another note. There is an F-86 in the mountains north of Tucson that is still mostly complete just like this F-100.
Looks like the entire front half of the fuselage, including the cockpit, is missing. Very interesting story. The F-100 was probably the first model airplane that a kid would build in the 1960's...
Thanks. Nice video. I recently saw a still slide presentation regarding a WW II B-17 crash sight, similar terrain up in Wyoming. I think they have named a nearby peak in the vicinity there Bomber Mountain. Again, thank you.

Fascinating! Thanks so much for coming by and supporting my channel. 🙏
Amazing find. How far did you hike?
And sad for the loss. God bless all the men and women who serve our country!
Thank you! 🙏 It must have been at least two miles, in total.
2:53 Some sort of instrument panel maybe?
Maybe! That's totally possible. 😮
What GoPro is that on your head?
That's my GoPro Max. It used to be my main camera until I got the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Thanks for tuning in, my friend! 👋🏼
@beyond_civilization okay. I've heard good things with the dji osmo pocket cameras.
1:35 idk but it looks interesting
