Is that an F-101 Voodoo?
My Dad was a mechanic and crew chief on those in the late 50's
and early 60's.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
Looks photoshopped. Something is amiss.

The guy has to be well past a hundred.I did the math before I posted.... that is what the caption in the picture said...
Just for shits and giggles let's assume he's 108,not out of the realm of possibility,that means he was born in 1847.he would have been 14 at the beginning of the Civil War,that is not impossible either.Even if he joined the war in 1865 he would have been 18....so,it's very possible. I did a Wiki search and got this...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lundy

That'e what puzzled me. Definitely not an F-102, or even an F-4 or beyond either.
As I recall the gun mounts on the Voodoo were under the cockpit, such
as these are.
O.K...I googled images...it's not a Voodoo.
It is an F-100 Super Sabre, a bit older than a F-101.
I stand corrected!

Found that guy's wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lundy
William Allen Lundy (January 18, 1859 – September 1, 1957) claimed to be one of the last living Confederate veterans of the American Civil War, having claimed to have served with the 4th Alabama Infantry from 1864-1865. His age is disputed and some records suggest he was born in 1859, not 1848. He claimed to be the last surviving Confederate soldier residing in Florida, and one of three (all Confederate) Civil War veterans still alive at the time in the United States. At the claimed age of 109, Private Lundy died at Crestview, Okaloosa County, on September 1, 1957. He is interred at Almarant Cemetery, Laurel Hill.
However, 1860 Census records suggest that Lundy was born in 1859, which would mean that he was only six years old at the end of the Civil War - implying that he could never have fought in it -, and 98 when he died.[4][5]
In addition, research in 2016 suggested that no evidence in favor of either Lundy or his father having served could be found.[
