About the F-100 Super Sabre:
The North American F-100 Super Sabre was an American supersonic jet fighter aircraft that served with the United States Air Force from 1954 to 1971 and the Air National Guard until 1979. It was the first USAF fighter capable of supersonic speed in level flight. The F-100 was adapted as a fighter bomber, and supplanted by the Mach Two Class F-105 Thunderchief for strike missions over North Vietnam.
The F-100A officially entered USAF service on September 27, 1954 with the 479th Fighter Wing at George AFB, California. By November of the same year, the F-100A suffered six major accidents due to flight instability, structural failures, and hydraulic system failures prompting the air force to ground the entire fleet until February 1955. The F-100 Super Sabre is known for holding numerous achievements including being the first operational aircraft in the USAF inventory capable of exceeding the speed of sound in level flight, and being the first-ever aircraft to successfully perform buddy refueling.
