This print captures the sleek and powerful Convair F-106A Delta Dart 57-2496, belonging to the United States Air Force's 84th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Castle Air Force Base in California, circa 1976. The aircraft, with its distinctive design and formidable presence, was a true icon of American military aviation during the Cold War era.
In 1992, this impressive machine was converted into a QF-106A and began flying missions from Tyndall Air Force Base. Unfortunately, its illustrious career came to an abrupt end on May 8, 1996 when it was inadvertently destroyed by Range Safety measures.
