We (49th FIS) referred to our 2 seat -106 as 'The Bus'.

I was only ever close to a 106 at an airshow in Plattsburg back
in the 80's. I was surprised. I'd always pictured it as a much
larger aircraft.

We had the F-106 at Langley while I was there. 48 FIS? The first time I heard
one of those puppies lit afterburner I thought something had blown up.

It was one tough girl.
