F106A Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) I love the 5th FIS post so much I think we need a spot for all F-106's! I'd love to see some unique shots and if you all have the time to post them here please also send them to Erv Smalley and Marty Isham at http://www.convairf-106deltadart.com/ and Pat McGee at http://www.f-106deltadart.com/ Dig out and scan your unique F-106 photos and be sure to see Erv's site for the one's he needs! Even if it's a shot of a tail number he already has he will take it. This is his list... "Photo Help Requested We could use some help on finding or upgrading photos for the following 23 aircraft: 57-0242, 57-2462, 57-2474, 57-2484, 57-2488, 57-2489, 57-2511, 57-2534, 57-2542, 58-0762, 58-0771, 58-0794, 58-0798, 59-0013, 59-0017, 59-0029, 59-0039, 59-0045, 59-0050, 59-0087, 59-0113, 59-0120, 59-0139" Here's some shots taken at Fairchild AFB, WA in 1981 of 318th and 186th FIS Sixes during the Armed Forces Day Open House...

Cobrahistorian Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I just shot a bunch of pics of 59-0137 out at Pinal Airpark. She's disassembled right now, but should be back in presentable condition soon. I'll post these and a few other Six pics soon! Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F106A Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) Hey, those would be cool too as documentation of the rebuild! Pat and Erv would love 'em! Mark Edited November 2, 2007 by Mark O. Williams Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F106A Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) Me as a Civil Air Patrol Cadet sitting in the cockpit of 56-0466 belonging to the 318th FIS at McChord AFB, WA in 1981. What a cool experience! And 25 years later in September 2006 at the dedication ceremony of 56-0461 painted as 57-0231 at Sawyer IAP, MI Edited November 2, 2007 by Mark O.

F106A Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) 59-0069 painted as 57-2492 with 186th FIS, Montana ANG markings on display at Great Falls IAP, MT. This is my favorite of several photos I took on 24 June 2005 while driving through GF. As a matter of fact I think I need to use this pic as my Windows background again! What a cool pic! And taken just a few seconds later from a different angle... Edited November 2, 2007 by Mark O. Williams Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Nice Delta Dart pics everyone. Those were the good old days when the USAF used a little more color on their planes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 It just makes me sick to see my old squadron sitting in the salvage yard like that. Where did yu take the shots of balls 5? It looks like it might have been Nellis or maybe Davis-Monthan. We used to keep a det at DM. I have put pictures of the Kittens in the 5th FIS posting already. I'll get some more posted.

Phantomologist Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Ah the duck tour at Tyndall when they left us out under a tent in a rather rowdy thunderstorm complete with lighting hits around the area. The weather aborts created some unique photo opportunities along with really wet shoes. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Startled the heck out of me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
