Yesterday I was looking at some F-100 photos. On the MCP i saw a window speed. Is it the fokker 100 equipped with an autothrottle?? O it is a simple speed control throughout the pitch as on the CRJ and other aircraft??

As far as I know it has both. Speed control through pitch as well as conventional autothrottle modes. :)

The F100 certainly does have an autothrottle system. The dual channel system works to provide either a thrust limit or maintain constant airspeed. Each thrust lever is controlled by one channel with a tie-clutch connecting the 2 in case of channel failure
