That tail on the right aint no F-102!

That looks more like an F-105!

The base in my home town flew F-102's for years, I saw them for the first 10 years of my life almost, went from F-100's to F-102's to F-100's again, Bradley Field

Also, I worked at the Air Museum, and we had an F-102 there, I used to polish the paint, that tail on the right aint no F-102!~

The picture in Post 54 shows a F-102 tailfin. Sorry.

You're right. that's an F-105 to the right of the F-106. I posted the F-106 to show the difference in the windscreen. BTW the F-102 pilot had no forward vision capability since the radar scope filled the windscreen. The F-106 had a wider windscren and the pilot had some forward visibility.
