 We all know that Convair was the prime integrator that developed the F-106. What I didn't know until a couple days ago was during the same time frame, they also developed Atlas, our first ICBM. Guess you can say Convair had 'em coming and going. :

Boy those were the days. OK so here's a trivia for you...and no fair googling. Where was the Six production line and what famous WWII aircraft was also produced at the same facility? :scratch_head

Well, I'm pretty sure it was made in San Diego. I won't cheat for the famous WWII plane but it had to be a Consolidated - not a Convair - plane, so that would make it probably the PBY or the B-24.

You're too good. B-24s and F-106s came out of the same shed. :patriotic-flagwaver
