North American F-100C Super Sabre<\/h1>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Developed as a fighter-bomber from the F-100A, the F-100C prototype first flew in March 1954.\u00a0 A long list of improvements included greatly increased fuel capacity, in-flight refueling, six hard points under the wings for carrying bombs or drop tanks, and the Low Altitude Bombing System (LABS) which allowed the aircraft to carry and deliver nuclear weapons.\u00a0 Over four hundred and seventy “C” models were built.\u00a0 Super Sabres flew extensively in Vietnam and continued in Air National Guard service until 1979.\u00a0 Many F-100s were converted to QF-100 drones for use as remotely piloted targets.<\/p>\n
