This is a photo of QF-100F 56-3801. I'm not sure when this was taken. The F models were modified late in the program (1988-91) to be drones after all the D models that were to be modified had been completed. The F models required different software and other modifications, as their flight characteristics and hardware locations were different. In addition, maintaining the ejection seats was a problem, as they required different seat rocket motors from the D model and there was a shelf life limit on the rocket motors.
