The F-102 Delta Dagger (Was GWB as a Nat'l Guard Fighter Pilot threads.)

OK. I have seen the debate over GWB as an F-102 pilot, so I was
wondering
about a couple of things.

First, was the F-102 taken out of service in the early 1970s?

Yes....the Duece as it was called in Air Force circles was phased out of
most National Guard units in the early 70's. I recall the Pennsylvania
National Guard replacing them with A7 Corsairs while in Texas they were
replaced with F101 VooDoos.

Second, if GWB was trained on the F-102, and had asked about other
planes,
would he have been assigned to the -106 or was Texas going to a
different
fighter?

The Texas Guard transitioned to the F101 Voodoo which they flew till the
early 80's when they moved to the F4 and now they fly F16's

Somewhere around 1979-1980, we at Luke, were training the Texas ANG to fly
F4Cs.

Wednesday evening I'm having dinner in a resturant part of which is a former
Texas Air National Guard (K)C-97.

Now that sounds cool.
