The F-100 Super Sabre was a supersonic fighter aircraft that served with the USAF, first flying on May 25, 1953, followed by the first production F-100 on October 9, 1953. It retains much of the same weapons and airframe improvements as the F-100D. The F-100F would conduct dangerous low-level missions to spot targets of other fighter-bombers, reconnaissance, SAR (search and rescue) and was the first SEAD "Wild Weasel" (suppression of enemy air defenses) aircraft. The "Hun" logged more than 360,000 combat sorties during the Vietnam War until the end of operations in 1971.
