Actually, this is a F-102A Delta Dagger, the predecessor of the F-106A
Delta dart featured in the next posting. I admit that to the untrained eye,
they are easily mistaken for eachother.
The latter has more elegant lines, and the intakes are set aft of the
cockpit. Both aircraft where designed and manufactured by the same company:
Convair.

Very nice pictures!

Cave putoriem,
