Background:

The North American F-100 Supersabre served the USAF from 1954 to 1971 and the ANG until 1979. The F-100 commonly referred to as the “Hun”, a shortened version of “one hundred” was the first US fighter capable of attaining supersonic speed in level flight. The Hun was used extensively as close-air-support in South Vietnam.

The “Skyblazers” began in 1949 when 3 pilots flying from Malta to Germany decided to try some formation flying and later aerobatics. Eventually USAFE HQ ordered an aerobatic team to be formed and the team received a fourth aircraft. The maneuver that lived up to the name “Skyblazers” began in 1960 when their F-100s would do a gear down slow pass and then they would use the after-burner and suddenly climb leaving a 10 meter flaming trail. The team disbanded in 1964.
