This official U.S. Air Force press release describes the Thunderbirds performing their signature 'Diamond Dive' maneuver in the North American F-100 Super Sabre. As the first of the Air Force's 'century series' supersonic fighters, the F-100 gave the Thunderbirds a dramatic new capability for aerial demonstration, and press releases like this one were distributed to newspapers and media outlets to accompany photographs of the team's precision flying.
