Since May 1953, when the first prototype model, the YF-100, bettered the speed of sound on its first flight, the versatile fighter set numerous records for speed, endurance, range and maintenance. Late production models of the F-100D and F-100F had the capability of being launched from remote areas in the manner of manned missiles. Of the 2,290 Super Sabres produced, 1,274 F-100Ds included the first autopilot designed for a supersonic jet. Powered by a 16,950-pound-thrust afterburning jet engine, the F-100 was armed with four 20-millimeter cannons, two GAM 83A Bulldog missiles, four Sidewinder missiles, rockets, special stores, and/or 7,040 pounds of bombs.To demonstrate the ability of its pilot and aircraft, the Air Force chose F-100 Super Sabres to perform throughout the world in aerial precision demonstration flights. The famed Thunderbirds, a four-man aircraft team, were viewed by over 19 million people as the storied pilots performed intricate precision maneuvers at low altitude.BI24378 (naa2153)Maximum size:5998px × 4754px (~81 MB)19.9in × 15.8in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1950s-airplanes-brown-copy space-day-exteriors-F-100 Super Sabre-fighters-full body views-gray color-gray skies-ground shots-historic production status-jets-landing-military-military livery-monoplanes-parachutes, parafoils and drag chutes-photos-right front views-right side views-runways-silver color-sunshine-tarmac-taxiing-text-unpainted-unpaved groundRelated Photo/Videos:View All
