Best Answer

The USAF F100 Super Sabre. The F100 fought in Vietnam from 1961 thru 1971, firing it's 20mm cannons against ground targets longer than any other jet attack aircraft. The Super Sabre was also amongst the most favorite to call in by ground forces, because the F100 came in low and CLOSE to the men on the ground all the while firing it's guns.

Over 700 F4 Phantom IIs were lost in the war. All branches (Air Force, Marines, Navy) used this aircraft, hence the highest loss rate.

Which US combat jet suffered the second and third highest loss rates?

2nd highest: The F105 Thunderchief was the B17 of the Vietnam War. The Thud was the "bomber" over North Vietnam, but it paid the price for that honor...nearly a 50% loss rate, and the US Militarys only combat aircraft in history to be removed from the front lines due to loss rates (397 lost during the war, out of 833 built). 3rd highest: Senator McCain's A4 Skyhawk. About 342 Scooters were lost in the war. 4th highest: Roughly 242 F100 Super Sabres were lost in Vietnam.
