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.

Ok, Sorry, I was looking at the later pic, not post 54.

Westover AFB used to have a few QF-102's I used to watch in the early-mid 70's, 73, 74
