F-100F Super Sabre History:The North American
F-100F Super Sabre was a two-seat trainer aircraft originated on May
10, 1954 which the first production (56-3725) flew for the first
time on March 7, 1857. The F-100F entered service in 1958. It
received many of the same weapons and airframe upgrades as the
F-100D, including the new afterburners. By 1970, 74 F-100Fs were
lost in major accidents.
First deliveries of the F-100F began to the U.S Air Force in
January 1958, and by the end of the year, F-100Fs had reached most
of the overseas units that were operating F-100Ds. The last of 339
F-100Fs was delivered in October of 1959. All of them were built at
NAA's Los Angeles plant. Included in this total were 45 aircraft
specifically purchased for the Military Assistance Program and
intended for export to US allies overseas. Total Super Sabre
production finally totaled 2294, including 359 built at Columbus. In
1959, fifteen F-100Fs were modified to carry the GAM-83A Bullpup
air-to-surface guided missile.
