A F-100 Super Sabre on display at the Jackson Barracks in New Orleans. This aircraft was delivered in 1957 and saw combat in Vietnam with the 366th and 35th Tactical Fighter Wings. This airframe (56-3020) ended her career with the 122nd TFS in the Louisiana ANG and joined the Museum collection in 1984. The first of the famed Century Series of fighters, the F-100 was the first U.S. Air Force fighter to exceed the speed of sound in level flight and was also used by the USAF Thunderbirds for 12 years. First flown in 1953, close to 2,300 would be delivered when production ended in 1959.
