The F-100D Super Sabre entered service in 1956 as the U.S. Air Force's definitive fighter-bomber. Succeeding the legendary F-86, it was the first fighter aircraft capable of supersonic speed in level flight. Although developed as a day air-superiority fighter, the Super Sabre family eventually saw the F-100D repurposed as a ground-attack platform.
