Unless the US Navy flew some combat strikes into Vietnam prior to April 1961; the US Air Force F-100 Super Sabre is the longest serving US combat jet of the Vietnam War. Some sources state that the USAF F-101 Voodoo entered combat first, however, that aircraft didn't arrive in theater until October of 1961. The USAF Super Sabre fought on from April '61 until about March of '71; about 10 years of steady combat. The Super Sabre engaged in the USAF's first dog-fights and conducted most of the 20mm cannon strafing attacks; over 240 Super Sabres were lost in the Vietnam War.

In which war did the US fight in the longest?

Defining a war in the traditional method, which the conflict was fought against another "COUNTRY" (nation) which had a set government and a national flag, the Vietnam War would be the longest (war against the nation of North Vietnam). Defining war in the broad sense, and not neccessarily fought against a country with a set government and a national flag, then the American Indian Wars (American Frontier Wars) would be America's longest war(s): roughly 1620 until 1890 (ending at the Battle of Wounded Knee).
