I'll see what I can do Mark. I'm not sure where I found it. Probably while researching 48th markings.

Not sure if I found this on this website, sorry for any redundancy. I found it while looking for a specific picture on my hard drive.  |

Time for an F-106 photo!! From Wiki... "A Soviet Tupolev Tu-16 (NATO reporting code "Badger") and a U.S. Air Force Convair F-106A Delta Dart flying over the U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer USS Coontz (DLG-9) - not visible - off Korea. The U.S. units were ordered to Korea in response to the Pueblo-crisis." Since it's 1970 according to the photo title, I guess this is probably the 95th FIS, but I'm not sure. Cool photo though! One of the few I've seen with a Tu-16 Badger. (Public domain photo - no worries!) commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:F-106_intercepting_Tu-16_off_Korea_1970.jpg |

This is how I remember an F-106 cockpit. 539th FIS were all Round-eye models. Not only were instruments different, the TSD right hand Selector Switch was also different. Attachments:

Here's one I stumbled onto. It's obviously a 5th FIS Six in early markings. The photo was taken at Glasgow AFB, MT. I found it looking for 13th FIS photos. The caption read it was the first F-106 to land at the base. (Hmmm?) No "buzz" number on the fuselage, so that's interesting. It would have made identifying the aircraft easier. I'm guessing the photo was taken around 1963 as there was only one photo in the collection that had a date on it, but they all look like they were taken the same time. Just a couple without snow in them.  |

Yup, got that one NASA Lightning Research page www.f-106deltadart.com/nasa_lightning_research.htmF-106B 57-2516 NASA 816 1991 Dr. Richard Whitcomb pictured here with F-106B 57-2516 NASA 816 in 1991, was a distinguished Langley retiree who played a key role in developing the "area ruled" fuselage used on the Convair F-106 and its predecessor, the F-102A. This Coke-bottle-like shape was a revolutionary advance in aircraft design that made supersonic speed in level flight practical. |

couldn't find this on the main site:
It's a 13 min NASA video entitled:
