The RoCAF (Republic of China Air Force) on Taiwan was the only air force other than the USAF to use the F-100As. 15 F-100As arrived in 1959 followed by 65 in 1960. Another 38 former ANG aircraft followed bringing the number of F-100As to 118. The RoCAF ended up with over 50% of all F-100As produced. Patterned after the USAF the RoCAF is organized into Wing/Group/Squadron. The 499th TFW (often referred to in some publications as the 2nd TFW), 11th Fighter Group comprised of the 41st, 42nd, 43nd TFS. On November 1, 2004, the 41st and 42nd TFS were upgraded to the TFG status as part of a large restructuring.
