F-106 Aircraft

The Convair F-106 Delta Dart was an American all-weather interceptor that first flew in 1956 and entered United States Air Force service in 1959. Its delta wing and integrated fire-control system reflected the mission of intercepting hostile bombers under Cold War air-defense arrangements. It carried Falcon missiles and the Genie nuclear air-to-air rocket in an internal weapons bay, with later changes including gun installations on some aircraft. It did not become a conventional ground-attack type. Its long air-defense career and later target-drone use differed from the earlier F-102 that preceded it. Air National Guard units continued operating the type after its initial regular Air Force career.
