North American Fighter Family Portrait

For two decades and three generations of aircraft, North American probably built the BEST fighters in the USAF inventory.

Awsome Portriat!!! what is that above the Sabre?.....Looks like a F-105, but thats Republic.just heard a story today about the thuds blowing by their escorts(F4s) because they were so Fkn fast, And the verticle stab was as big as the B17s in fact the 105 was as long as the 17. Thanks for sharing

Top bird is the F-100, Super Sabre, "The Hun". First operational USAF supersonic fighter.

Roger that SP...thank you much...love the F-86...Obviously do'nt know much about the super Sabre

The Hun performed most of the CAS in South Vietnam by USAF fast movers up to 1970 or so. Also recorded the first unconfirmed MiG kill in April 1965 of that war during a strike on the Thanh Hoa bridge.
