With that tail it looks like a Kfir. 🙂

One of the many "what if" takes of aviation history is the F-106...by the time they got it right, dedicated  manned interceptors were in their way out.

 

The gun and AAR mods were too little to late. Instead of the F-102 being the interim "ultimate interceptor" as planned in the early '50s, its production run exceeded the '106's. 

In his last AF assignment, my dad was the Deputy Commander for  Maintenance at a '106 unit, a dozen years later, as a new lieutenant, I was at the last active-duty base with them, so they have a soft spot in my heart.
