EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1960s, a North American F-100C Super Sabre jet fighter of the United States Air Force (USAF) is parked on the tarmac at an East Anglian airbase in the United Kingdom. The F-100C, with the serial number 052721, is adorned with external fuel tanks, pitot covers, and engine covers, all essential components for extended missions and maintenance. The North American F-100 Super Sabre was a supersonic jet-powered fighter aircraft that first entered service with the USAF in 1954. It was a versatile and powerful machine, capable of various roles, including fighter, fighter-bomber, and reconnaissance missions. This particular F-100C model was a variant of the Super Sabre, featuring a more powerful engine and improved avionics. During the 1960s, the USAF deployed F-100Cs to various bases in Europe as part of the NATO commitment to defend against potential threats. The presence of these formidable aircraft in the UK served as a powerful deterrent and symbol of American military might during the Cold War era. The photograph captures the F-100C in its element, surrounded by the lush greenery of the English countryside. The external fuel tanks and covers add to the aircraft's imposing appearance, emphasizing its readiness for action. The image offers a glimpse into a bygone era of military aviation history, when the roar of jet engines and the sight of powerful aircraft were a common presence in the skies above Europe.
