Can anyone read the name on the nose?
"F-100C 41753 was named and christened "Susan Constant" by Mrs. W.S. Morrison, wife of the Speaker of England's House of Commons, in London on May 12, 1957, in commemoration of the 350th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, Virginia."

And from Wikipedia: Susan Constant, captained by Christopher Newport, was the largest of three ships of the English Virginia Company (the others being Discovery and Godspeed) on the 1606-1607 voyage that resulted in the founding of Jamestown in the new Colony of Virginia.
