Great video Gene, from the Convair collection of the San Diego Air & Space Museum. MOW has some of their F-106 videos linked on the F-106 main website here: www.f-106deltadart.com/piwigo/index.php?/category/455
It always amazes me how much testing Convair did on the F-102 and F-106 aircraft. They finally got a great delta wing fighter in the F-106 and a lot of the technology found it's way into the F-15 (radar & weapons systems) and F-16 aircraft (engine). Reminds me of the evolution of the Corvette from the SBC engine to the LS series and the hydro-formed aluminum frame. What a powerful monster they created!

www.jetpilots.com/spads-with-a-loadThis video was produced by Gary Bain and published on May 27, 2015 for Captain Don Engebretsen USAF, Skyraider and retired FedEx pilot. Also for the members of SOG (Special Operations Group that made forays into Laos) and the OLAA pilots that piloted the A1 Skyraider in support of SOG teams during the Vietnam Conflict. This is the OLAA pilots song they created while serving in Southeast Asia. These pilots and SOG teams were a fearless group of brave warriors and are unsung heroes of that war. Only mature audiences should view this as there are a couple of descriptive terms in the song that were uttered by the fighter pilots. Thanks to all our service members. Enjoy! Gary Bain.
