F-100 Super Sabre: a fighter-bomber beast

See the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWaQ4PpOdtw The North American F-100 Super Sabre was America's first operational supersonic fighter, but its journey from cutting-edge air-superiority aircraft to one of the most important strike fighters of the Vietnam War was anything but straightforward. Plagued by dangerous handling characteristics and early design flaws, the "Hun" evolved into a remarkably capable fighter-bomber, pioneering missions ranging from close air support to the first Wild Weasel SEAD operations and the legendary Misty Forward Air Controller program. We examine the F-100's turbulent development, its transformation into a versatile combat aircraft, and how it went on to fly more combat sorties than any other USAF fighter during the Vietnam War.
