though somewhat difficult to handle, the super sabre afforded so much lifting power that it could carry
the same payload as a wwii bomber, a load that it could deliver with incredible speed and precision.
adapted as a fighter bomber, the f-100 would be supplanted by the mach 2 class f-105 thunderchief
for strike missions over north vietnam. the f-100 flew extensively over south vietnam as the air
force\'s primary close air support jet until replaced by the more efficient subsonic a-7 corsair 2. the f-
100 also served in several nato air forces and with other us allies. in its later life, it was often
referred to as \"the hun,\" a shortened version of \"one hundred.\"
