11bee Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Ah the duck tour at Tyndall when they left us out under a tent in a rather rowdy thunderstorm completewith lighting hits around the area. The weather aborts created some unique photo opportunities along with really wet shoes. :) That picure of a Mass ANG 102nd FW F-106 brought back a cool memory. When I was a kid back in the late 70's, I had the pleasure to see one of their F-106's scream over my beachfront neighborhood approx 100' off the ground, in full afterburner, at seven in the morning. I thought that was the coolest thing I had ever seen. Years later, I was working at Otis ANG Base and mentioned the incident to one of the ANG maintenance techs. He told me that it was probably a specific pilot that had been known for such things. He figured that this guy had friends or family living nearby and wanted to give them a unique wake-up call. Seems like this guy was somewhat of a legend. You won't see anything like that these days. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I would love to see a new-tool 1/48th scale '106. I think it is the prettiest of all the jets. Always had a soft spot for the coldwar air defence jets in general. Wouldn't mind a new tool F-101B and an F-94C as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F106A Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) Naked Sixes. From April, 1983 at McChord AFB during their annual open house/air show. The 318th FIS was getting ready to trade in their F-106s for F-15s and had removed most or all of the 318th markings from their Darts by this time.

ScottD Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 nice photos! Do any of the remaining gate guards have the 20mm "Six Pack" Mounts on them? I've been wanting to build an F-106 with one! I have some shots, but I could always use more! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiger15 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Here are some pictures of an F-106 cockpit that I want to share. These were taken at the South Dakota Air and Space Museum which is located outside the main gate to Ellsworth AFB. Joel Edited January 7, 2008 by Tiger15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F106A Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Very cool! I never knew about that one up there! Wonder where they got it? I sure hope no one stole those missing instruments out of it and sold them on eBay. Every now and then stuff like that shows up there. Ah, who knows! Maybe they had to 'can' them for a legit cause! Thanks for posting! Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 The 106 pics of the 48th FIS are from my good friend Dennis Robinson, not sure when & where he took them. He has boxes full of these prints, I think many more than he realises he has! I love these markings. Julien :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 They looked good on their F-15s too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Nice and tight formation there. Being a delta wing with no horizontal tails and thus less control surfaces and I don't know about their FBW system, I've always wondered if the Delta Dart and Daggers were easy planes to fly and control, much less in such a tight formation.

Big Har Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 My first contribution to this thread will be an familar one. The F-106 in the AFM in Dayton. These photos were taken in 8/06. Harry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick McGee Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hi All, Pat McGee here owner of www.f-106deltadart.com that Mark O. Williams has been mentioning. There are some great pics in this thread that I'd like to add to my site. Anybody have any objections to me grabbing them and posting? Where I can find credits I will add them, or you can tell me of the credits later, but I'd really love to add some of these great pics into the site. Lately I've been adding new pics into a Webshots album at http://community.webshots.com/user/f106deltadart rather than adding them onto my web server and I would do the same with anything here. Please let me know if there are any objections. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Help yourself, that's why I posted them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
