This Delta Dagger is former USAF 56-1052 and was last noted within the USAF with the 194th Fighter Interceptor Squadron of the California ANG. The F-102A was delivered to Greece on 20 November 1969 and served the 114th Combat Wing from Tanagra Air Base. It was withdrawn from service, placed into storage at Elefsis and was seen as such from July 1986 up to November 1995. It was preserved at Elefsis to 2006 before it was sold to the Netherlands for preservation at Kamp Zeist and painted as a 32nd Tactical Fighter squadron aircraft ("56-1032") which was once based at Soesterberg air base.
