When I was in US Army basic 1964 our barracks faced McGuire AFB main runway. Used to see the F-106 Delta Dart variant 539th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron going out on after burner to hunt BEAR's.  . When they came back the landing AOA was unreal. |
The first book about military aircraft I had as a kid was one about the F-102 and F-106. It spawned a lifelong interest in military aviation, and if my eyesight hadn’t started to deteriorate in my freshman year of college, it was my intent to pursue a path toward flying fighters. Alas, it was not to be, but I still love fast jets.
