The F-106B was a two-seat fully combat capable trainer version of the Mach 2.3 Delta Dart and is seen here taxiing towards the end of its career with the 194th FIS. After withdrawal and a period at Andrews, it was carried as an underslung load by CH-54 Skycrane to Atlantic City IAP, NJ, where it was plinth-mounted in the colours of the local 177th FIS. It is wired up so that the external lights work at night and is one of five F-106B's displayed across the US This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
