History:

The F-100D Super Sabre is a single-engine, single-seat fighter-bomber. It is the first Air Force aircraft capable of level, supersonic flight. It made its mark in Vietnam in close air support of U.S. combat troops. At Nellis AFB, it was used for training and weapons development. Freedom Park is located inside the gates of Nellis AFB and is home to many military memorials. The U.S. Air Force Warfare Center at Nellis reports directly to the Air Combat Command. The center was founded on Sept. 1, 1966, as the U.S. Air Force Tactical Fighter Weapons Center. It was later renamed the U.S. Air Force Warfare Center in October 2005. The Mission: The USAFWC conducts warfighter-centric live and virtual operational test and evaluation, tactics development, and advanced training to optimize Air Force capabilities and prepare airmen for joint, all domain combat operations.
