Soc, I would love to read it. Where can I get a copy? I came to the AIM-4 late in its life, but I still have a love for the system. It was designed for technicians to work on. Today, USAF wants large bullets that can be tested, loaded, and fired with minimal hands on. Hughes built an intercept system that demanded know-how and skill. Thank you for taking the time and effort to do this.

I am glad if the new text version becomes public. Arming America’s Interceptors: The Hughes Falcon Missile Family Sean O’Connor page-28: "The GAR-11A"

Wings of Fame Vol. 17, page 61. A lot of sources mention that about half the fleet got the required weapon bay modifications (removing rockets from the center doors, etc), but this one specifies that the USAF wanted six squadrons between the ADC and the ANG to have the GAR-11. That led to my reasoning that the rest of the modified jets only carried the GAR-11A/AIM-26B. Given that there were plenty of squadrons not located near the coastline (Pennsylvania, Idaho, and North+South Dakota ANG units, to name a few), it makes sense, as one of the main concerns with using the GAR-11 was the effect it'd have over land.

I have known about this modification nothing. Presumably I am not informed completely. Can you explain to me these technical details precisely? Please, patience with me has. With pleasure I would like to learn even more of it.

Given that nuclear weapons were invovled, I'm not sure how technical we can (should?) get anyway.

Hopefully I was not impolite. It acts to me suffer I am so curious. I come from Europe and have a high interest to this subject. You are the Veterans of the cold war, these are lives. Unfortunately, I have to do the automatic gear ratio used. So I try to formulate easy sets. Sometimes I have to understand problems your sets. I'm sorry. I would like to get to know with pleasure more to the cold war. Sometimes I do not know what one may ask and what not. Some details are possibly confidential. If it is wished not to talk about it I will put no questions. I respect your service during the cold war and your performance exceptionally. You have provided everybody for it that of the peace is preserved. Hopefully I have offended nobody.

Anywhere maybe some of us old vets have been stationed or visited? Cheers

Just found a nice addition to the Falcon missile research thread. I was searching for some F-106 photos, and came across this site. LOTS of info, and photos! www.ausairpower.net/Falcon-Evolution.htmlHere are a couple photos from the site as well, and as I am known to say, it's worth a read! Early F-106 weapon bay proposal... 231 with armament...(Note the early wing with fences, and cars!)

What a great shot of 231!!! Long before I got to her, she did NOT have the fences on the wings when I first worked on her in 1967, at Duluth.
Good flyer and the sister ship - 70230 was our Squadron Commanders bird.
When Col Benham flew 230 he was always giving it a code 1 for AFCS and we generally put it on alert. Anytime another pilot would get into 230, they would write up the AFCS as having a violent yaw right problem as soon as AFCS was engaged. Col Benham would then take the bird out for a spin and sign off the AFCS problem each time. When Col Benham left Duluth, the bird was flown by the QC pilot who came back very pale and apparently shook up. The bird was put into docks and the entire AFCS system was renovated! Seems that when Big Ben flew 230, he always flew with the left rudder pedal pushed all the way forward. He found it easier to make right turns by simply letting up on the rudder! Big Ben was a really big guy so he made do with the amount of cockpit space as well as he could by doing this!
Great picture!
