If any of you are familiar with the century series of fighters we've seen that the F-100 and F-102 was exported to Turkey or Greece at one point and the F-104 to various nations. Why weren't any of the other mentioned fighters ever sold abroad? (excluding Canada's F-101s). The next generation F-4 Phantom meanwhile was widely exported.
They were built in lesser numbers I know but a good number of all those types still ended up in the Davis-Monthan AFB boneyard. Were they just surpassed by other fighters like the F-4, Mirage and other types that quickly in the 60's? or, on the other hand, did the US did not want to export them during the 50's?
