Tex- Political considerations aside, the F-102s were in SEA for a period
of...gasp...ten years. BRBR

When did they go?


In August 1961 four F-102As of the 509th FIS deployed to Bangkok's Don Muang
Airport. The following March F-102s deployed to Tan Son Nhut AB. The F-102
served in Vietnam until 1970.



When did they convert the F-102 to be able to carry a gun pod
and Aim-9?


They didn't.



Or was it the F-106?


Some F-106s were modified to carry the cannon. It did not carry the AIM-9.
