I've never heard an F-102 pilot say bad things about the airplane.
They all wished that it were a bit faster, though.


Dad loved the Duece. Back in the early 70's I can distinctly remember
Dad and me standing on the ramp at Buckley ANG base where he flew
the T-29 (he was stationed at Denver's Lowry AFB but flew the T-29
out of Buckley from time to time just before his retirement). An F-102
cranked up and taxiied away, and when I looked at my hard-nosed
ol' man there was tears coming out of both eyes.
