As Wing Commander of the 479th TFW, Col. George Laven, Jr. selected a F-100 Super Sabre for his personal aircraft. The aircrafts serial was 54-2076, the same last four digits as the P-38 he flew in 1942-1943. In four years Col. Laven logged over 2,000 hours and was the only officer during that time to fly the aircraft. After several years the aircraft went to the New Mexico ANG
The F-100 Super Sabre was a jet fighter that served with the U.S. Air Force from 1954 to 1971. It was capable of supersonic speed and made extensive use of titanium throughout the aircraft. During the Vietnam War, the Super Sabre flew extensively over South Vietnam as the primary close air support jet until replaced by the subsonic Vought A-7 Corsair. The F-100 also served in several NATO armed forces and with other U.S. allies. It was often referred to as "The Hun".
