TO PASTURE
The North American "F-100 Super Sabre", more generally known as the "Hun", began life in late 1940s as
a re-design of the F-86 Sabre for supersonic performance, including more powerful engine and a wing
with a 45 degree sweep (Sabre 45). The first F-100A was given to USAF on September 1953, then also
accepted by Tactical Air Command (TAC) nearly a year later in 1954, the Air Force’s First Supersonic Jet
setting a new speed record of 755 miles per hour. The Tactical Air Command request for a new F-100
fighter-bomber was addressed with the F-100C which entered service in 1955.
The C-model featured lengthened wings to help improve rolling. The new wings were also strengthened
to allow for the carrying of air to ground weapons with six pylons available.
Additionally, C models were the first fighter featuring in-flight refueling via a probe extending outwards
from under the starboard wing component. Operators included Denmark, France, Turkey and Taiwan.
The Turkish Air Force began to use F-100's in 1958 and received over 200s F-100C's, D's and F's. The last
Turkish F-100's flew until the 1980s but some remain in their abandoned state. This F-100C with serial
number 54-1759 rests at Bursa Yenisehir airport. I saw her during landing for an airline operation to Bursa
and just had to get close to take some photographs, instant inspiration to create a miniature replica.
