The F-106 Delta Dart. An airplane that served long and well. Universally loved by all who flew her. An F-106 still holds the official speed record for a single jet engined aircraft. This piece is 20" x 24".

This is great Mark. Seeing those AIM-4 Falcons really brought back memories. I never worked on the 106 but during my career development phase I had to learn basic airmunitions and armament systems for the jet. Wow..that was back in 1982. Yep,there was still some interceptor units flying the old gal back then. Some neat trivia about one weapon in particular was the AIR-2A Genie. This was an unguided, nuclear rocket. You heard right..."Unguided" NUCLEAR Rocket!

Thanks Lyle. The 106 have a very long career for a 60s design. I read about the Genie while researching this piece. I even considered showing that rocket being fired instead of the Falcon. Interesting concept. SHoot down a whole formation of bombers with one nuclear burst.

Crazy isn't it! Well...to a weapons guy the idea of something nuclear being unguided was wacko!LOL Especially when you consider how rockets are a bit more touchy in terms of propellant.
