Historical Note:

Historical:

The Convair F-106 Delta Dart began as an advanced version of the F-102 but because of so many modifications and design changes it became a new aircraft with its own designation. It was designed as a missile carrying all-weather interceptor against Soviet bombers and served in this role from the 1960s until the 1980s. The F-106A as well as the F-106B two-seat trainer served with 15 fighter interceptor squadrons starting in 1959. The aircraft was rarely referred to as the Delta Dart but was commonly called the “6”.
F-106A Delta Dart 59-0062 MSN 8-24-191 was completed in April 1960 and on May 10, 1960 delivered to the 318th Fighter Interceptor Squadron / 325 FW at McChord AFB, WA. The aircraft spent time with the 498th FIS 57th FG in 1966 and then the 84th FIS / 1st FW in September 1968. In March 1981 59-0062 transferred to the 49th FIS at Griffiss AFB in New York. On July 9, 1987 the aircraft was sent to AMARC as FN159. In 1991 it was converted to a drone and shot down on November 12, 1993.

The Ultimate Supersonic Interceptor - F-106 Delta Dart (11:01)

Subscribe to Dark Skies: https://bit.ly/dark5skies New Merch (my brother is working on more designs!): https://teespring.com/stores/darkskies The Convair F-106 Delta Dart was the main all-weather interceptor jet of the United States Air Force for almost 20 years. Designed from scratch as the so-called [QUOTE] "Ultimate Interceptor," pilots would reportedly fight each other to fly it. It had one mission, and it had to be fast. With a sleek body and missiles tucked in an internal weapons bay, it could reach speeds over 1,500 miles-per-hour to intercept the Soviet Union's long-range bombers. And, as one bizarre incident would show... it could sometimes fly and land on its own. - As images and footage of actual events are not always available, Dark Skies sometimes utilizes similar historical images and footage for dramatic effect.
