Father of the Six -- The Duece.

Folks, this is a REALLY good video. Mostly on the F-102, but there is some EXCELLENT background info on the production of the F-106, and it IS worth a watch. 23 minutes, and change of great history. I especially liked seeing the side-stick installation that was initially planned for the F-106.

(Note: The sound may be a bit low. I had to turn my speakers up much more than normal for a YouTube video, but it's all there.)

If you want believe half of this guy's crap, he is only about 1/4 right.... Believe in some of the early posts some former Deuce drivers made less than complimentary comments. 1962 flame out crashed because the engine wouldn't restart - airplanes fault. 1000 built......The F-102 served in Vietnam, flying fighter patrols and serving as bomber escorts. A total of 14 aircraft were lost in Vietnam: one to air-to-air combat, several to ground fire and the remainder to accidents. Bullschmitt still stinks even in a PP presentation. The deuce did not have nose tail radar lock on detection and the Mig fired at the assend of the plane... This idiot copied from Wikipedia....

What is Irish diplomacy? It’s the ability to tell a man to go to hell,
in such a manner he will look forward to making the trip. And buy his ticket!
