I suspect you may misunderstood. It was less than 100 hours from being grounded because it was reaching the end of its stress life... not that it had only flown 100 hours.
Most of the German and Greek Phantoms are now right at the end of their possible operational lives. Especially the German ones which are pretty much only used for Wild Weasel missions and as such get a lot of hammering at low level.
