Someone told me a great story once about a LT at the Fresno, California Air Guard who took an F-106 on an unauthorized cross-country series of flights to Keflavik, then ended up in formation with a Bear bomber along with some USAF F-4's. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this story?

Extremely doubtful, first if it was an unauthorized flight, he would have passed through several Air Defense Sectors and ATC areas. Even if he didn't acknowledge radio calls, he would have been intercepted long before he got low on fuel. Even if he tried to file a revised flight plan he would have been found. And definitely by the time he was low on fuel and landed to refuel, he wouldn't get airborne again.... Now it is possible that someone flew xcountry being handed off from SAGE control to the next SAGE control. But this would not have been an unauthorized xcountry flight. Just a tall tale.........
