This dual seat Delta Dart was manufactured in late 1959 and delivered to the USAF. After service with the 159th FIS, it was moved to AMARC with inventory code FN0125 on 20 Mar'87. It was selected as a chase aircraft with Rockwell Palmdale (CA) where it supported the B-1 Lancer program. It returned to AMARC on 4 Apr'89, here pictured a few months later without inventory code, but became FN0195. It left AMARC on 20 Dec'89 for American Electronic Laboratories, East Alton (IL). Converted to QF-106B (AD109), assigned to 475th WEG on 26 Apr'91. Shot down as a target with a AIM-9M on 1 Sep'93.
