North American F-100A (52-5778) Super Sabre on the Rogers Dry Lakebed in a
1955 photograph. NACA High-Speed Flight Station, Edwards, California, 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 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.
