Photographed in a clean side profile, this North American F-100 Super Sabre displays the sleek swept-wing lines that made it the U.S. Air Force's first operational supersonic fighter. Entering service in 1954 as the lead aircraft of the 'Century Series,' the F-100 combined speed and firepower for both air superiority and fighter-bomber missions, later serving extensively during the Vietnam War. This example carries buzz code FW-281 and standard bare-metal Air Force markings of the period. Project: 218472
