Between 1959 and 1974 the Danish Air Force received 48 F-100D Super Sabres. One of these was c/n 54-2262 that had flown 679 hours with the USAF as FW-262. It arrived in Denmark on June 12, 1959 and became G-262. The last flight with the RDAF was on January 15, 1982 with a total of 4,516 hours. G-262 was sold to Turkey and arrived January 27, 1982. On July 29, 1983 the aircraft was destroyed when the pilot lost control doing several tough maneuvers during weapons training.
Designed to replace the F-86, the F-100 was first flown on May 25th, 1953. Easily recognizable by its oblong nose inlet the F-100 was the USAF's first operational aircraft capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. Variants featured advances like in-flight refueling, extra fuel drop tanks, improvements in aerodynamics, weapons delivery, electronic bombing, and nuclear weapons capability. As a fighter-bomber, armament consisted of four 20-mm cannons and up to 6000 pounds of external ordnances such as bombs and rocket pods. Often referred to as "the Hun", for "one hundred"- The Super Sabre made its combat debut in Vietnam where it attacked targets such as bridges, river barges, and road junctions.© Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
