North American F-100A (52-5778) Super Sabre is parked on the Rogers Dry Lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base, California, 1955. This photo shows the large tail on the F-100A.

When the basic research was completed on this F-100A another program was assigned. On March 5, 1957 two aeronautical engineers and a test pilot from NACA High-Speed Flight Station took the airplane to participate in a Gunnery Operations program at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. When the program was completed the aircraft returned for other assignments to NACA, at Edwards, California.
