Did you know the F-106 "supercruised" before the F-22? Former “Six” pilots explain why the Delta...

Excellent share sir, have a great morning sir.

Thank you, my friend LTC (Join to see) for posting the fact that President George W. Bush flew the Convair 102A Delta Dart that was the predecessor of the F-106.
Background from teh article you posted.
"The F-106 all-weather interceptor was developed from the Convair F-102 Delta Dagger. Originally designated F-102B, it was redesignated F-106 because it had extensive structural changes and a more powerful engine. The first F-106A flew on Dec. 26, 1956, and deliveries to the Air Force began in July 1959. Production ended in late 1960 after 277 F-106As and 63 F-106Bs had been built. The F-106 used a Hughes MA-1 electronic guidance and fire control system. After takeoff, the MA-1 could be given control of the aircraft to fly it to the proper altitude and attack position. Then it could fire the Genie and Falcon missiles, break off the attack run and return the aircraft to the vicinity of its base. The pilot took control again for the landing."

Did not know Bush flew one. I have seen a clip on you tube where one landed and the piolet was Jimmy Stewart.
