Photo Comment

This Dagger flew with two Fighter Interceptor Squadrons before beginning an ANG career which saw it serve six different states, including NY with the appropriately-numbered 102nd FIS at Suffolk County ANGB. Converted to a PQM-102A drone in 1.75 and shot down over the White Sands Test Range during a flight from Holloman AFB, NM on 12.01.78
