It was on today’s date in 1970 that the F-14A Tomcat took its very first flight at Grumman’s Calverton facility in New York. Piloted by Robert Smyth and William Miller, this groundbreaking fighter introduced swing-wing technology and advanced missile systems, making it a key player in U.S. Navy aviation. With a top speed over Mach 2, the F-14 served as a long-range fleet defense interceptor and stayed in service until 2006, cementing its legacy as one of the Navy’s most iconic aircraft.

Is the F-14 your favorite fighter jet?

The North American F-100C Super Sabre is a groundb

The North American F-100C Super Sabre is a groundbreaking single-seat, all-weather bomber, earning its place as the first U.S. Air Force jet capable of sustained supersonic flight in level flight. Known as the "Hun" (short for "Hundred"), the F-100 played a pivotal role in transitioning jet fighters into the supersonic era, excelling in both air-to-air and ground attack missions.

With its sleek design and powerful engine, the F-100C introduced innovations like an advanced autopilot and better payload capabilities for tactical bombing. It served extensively during the Cold War, embodying cutting-edge aerospace technology at the time.

Our F-100C-25 Super Sabre, serial number 54-2091, had an active and varied service life. Delivered on March 29, 1956, it began with the 413th Fighter-Day Group at George AFB, California, and saw deployments across Shaw AFB, Langley AFB, and McChord AFB. It was assigned to several units, including the 4530th CCT at Williams AFB, the 4510th CCTW at Luke AFB, and the 121st TFG of the Air National Guard at Lockbourne AFB, Ohio. It even served overseas with the 354th TFW in Kunsan AB, Korea. After an impressive 16 years of service, it entered storage at Davis-Monthan AFB in 1971 and was officially retired in December 1972. We acquired it in 2004.

Can you guess the top speed of the F-100C?

We're sending the P-47 prop over to Westpac for a thorough check with our guy Bill. He’ll inspect it for cracks, ensure it’s perfectly balanced, and run it through some tests to keep it in tip-top shape.

It was on today’s date, 17 December 1944, that Major Richard Ira Bong, flying a Lockheed P-38 Lightning over San José in the Philippines, shot down an enemy Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa, marking his 40th confirmed aerial victory. This made him the top American fighter ace of World War II, with 40 kills.

Do you know who the leading American Ace in the European theater was?

The General Motors (Eastern Aircraft Division) FM-

The General Motors (Eastern Aircraft Division) FM-2 Wildcat is a rugged, single-seat, carrier-based fighter that proved its worth during WWII. Though outclassed by the Japanese Zero in speed and agility, the Wildcat's strategy of "dive in, shoot fast, and get out" exploited its strengths, including an unlimited dive capacity tested by ace pilot Dick Foote.

The FM-2's role wasn't limited to the Pacific theater—while earlier Wildcats fought valiantly at Midway, a pivotal WWII battle, the FM-2 provided critical convoy protection against German U-boats in the Atlantic. With production continuing until the war's end, the Wildcat cemented its place in history.

It was delivered in June 1945 and served briefly before being stricken from service in February 1946. We procured and restored it in 1983.

Do you know what other aircraft General Motors produced?
