Joseph - You would probably get better response to this type of question over in the Aircraft forum, but here's a link to the Wright Pat AFB museum info page. Looks like it missed Korea and wound up in Viet Nam.

Yeah, even if the first F-100s came off the line before the war ended, they wouldn't have been sent to Korea. The F-100 was one of those aircraft that missed one war and was a bit too old for the next (though they still did an awesome job in the CAS role; I have a friend that stopped counting the convoys and his estimated kills after the first couple hundred).
