F-100 Super Sabre Desert

North American F-100A (52-5778) Super Sabre on the Rogers Dry Lakebed in a 1955 photograph. The NACA High-Speed Flight Station, Edwards, Calif., flew this F-100 Super Sabre from 1954 to 1960 to investigate stability and control features of the then-new supersonic Air Force fighter. The program was part of the NACA’s support to the test and development program of the new “century series” of aircraft – F-100, F-101, F-102, F-104, F-105, F-106, and F-107.
