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.
