When the basic research was completed on this F-100A, another program was assigned. On March 5, 1957 two aeronautical engineers and a test pilot from the NACA High-Speed Flight Station took the airplane to participate in a Gunnery Operations program at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. When the program was completed the aircraft returned for other assignments to the NACA, at Edwards, Calif.
