In 1986 during flight testing of the B-1B the F-106 was chosen as the official chase aircraft. Eight F-106's were used in this role between October 10, 1986 and July 6, 1990. One of the chosen aircraft was 59-0061 manufactured by Convair in March 1960. On February 4, 1987 59-0061 joined the B-1B Chase Program and on July 6, 1990 was the last to leave the program. The aircraft was converted to a QF-106A drone S/N AD156 and was shot down by an AIM-9 missile on September 3, 1993.
Designed as a refinement of the F102, the F106 was first flown on December 26th, 1956. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Hobby Master's 1:72 scale F-106 Delta Dart is a fast-looking model, skillfully designed using modern manufacturing techniques with the inclusion of many fine features. The hinged, sharply-angled canopy opens to reveal pad-printed front and side instrument panels. The landing gear and gear doors are constructed as subassemblies allowing quick and easy configuration for ground or in-flight display. The solid metal wing is masterfully recreated with downturned leading edges and two removable streamlined supersonic fuel tanks. The weapons bay is constructed as a one-piece subassembly, with four Falcon missiles featuring finely detailed trapeze mounts.
