EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a North American F-100C Super Sabre aircraft with the serial number 54-2117, which once belonged to the District of Columbia Air National Guard. Incorrectly marked as 54-117, this Super Sabre was marked for disposal to the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposition Center (MASDC) on June 14, 1971. However, its journey did not end there. In October 1972, this historic aircraft was transferred to the Turkish Air Force, where it continued its service under the same serial number. Fast forward to June 2014, and 54-2117 was proudly displayed on a dummy airfield at Konya Air Base in Turkey. The North American F-100C Super Sabre, a single-engine, twin-seat, all-weather tactical fighter aircraft, was a critical asset during the Cold War era. Its powerful engines and advanced avionics made it a formidable force in the skies. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of military aviation and the enduring legacy of the North American F-100C Super Sabre. The F-100C Super Sabre, with its distinctive shape and powerful presence, is a beloved icon of aeronautical transportation and transport. This photograph captures a moment in time, preserving the history of this aircraft and its journey from the District of Columbia Air National Guard to the Turkish Air Force, and its final resting place at Konya Air Base.
