Photo Funday — The “Hun”

20 November 2009

Photo Funday — photos and a caption for the weekend

North American F-100 Super Sabre at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum — photo by Joe May

The F-100 was the first US Air Force fighter that could exceed Mach 1 in level flight and was nicknamed “The Hun” which was a clever double entendre … shortened from “hundred” but also relating to the noted combat leader, Attila.

Note: I have published several posts on the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum as her aircraft, if you are interested in reading some of them, please type “Evergreen” in the SEARCH box and thanks!
