Super Sabre

This is a YF-100A, known as a Super Sabre. It was the Air Force's "first operational aircraft capable of flying faster than the speed of sound (760 mph) in level flight," according to a plaque at the Air Force Test Flight Center Museum. The model took flight in 1953, and it set a number of world records at Edwards Air Force Base. Those include the low altitude speed record of 755 miles an hour, and the high-altitude world speed record of 822.135 miles an hour.
