F-100 was first to break speed of sound "in level flight". However, your standard F-86 could exceed Mach 1 in a shallow dive. And she was doin' it way before the Huns first flight.

All my polls are a trick questions... Or are they? And dont be so certain it is indeed the F-86... Remember there were swept wing versions of the F-84 as well and the F-80 was used for 'compressibility' testing after Yeagers sound breaking flights... The real question here is, how tricky is this poll? Just a little tricky or a heck of alot tricky??

And you didnt say the plane survived the pass through Mach lol. My guees would be P-80 In the early 40's a P-38 broke windows in Saint Louis, ( my dad was there ) you tell me why _________________ FAF/FA-2 FM Wizard "Oh the horror of the seven engine approach" Half man, half machine, half timebomb.....

But then again, maybe he isnt... But not to worry, the P-38 was never in USAF service...

I have built many of them for FAF Korea 1950s... Besides just becasue I mentioned the swept wing version of the F-84, it doesnt mean I was referring to it in the poll... Just more subterfuge! So your back to strike threeeee - Your OUT again and that makes three outs so the inning is over!!!
