Thanks for watching everyone! If you are enjoying my videos from the National Museum of the USAF, please click the thumbs up button because they're not getting many views and I'm reliant on the advertising revenue to help pay for these videos (because I don't want to do product placement). Cheers!

That plane is just so wonderfully beautiful! The full delta's are truly special. I first become aware of them in the movie BEYOND THE TIME BARRIER and found them unforgettable.

57th FIS (Black Knights) Keflavik, Iceland.(The ROCK). I was stationed there, February 1968 - February 1969. Augumentee security guard on flight line for. exercises & actual alerts besides my regular job on. I perfected my AFSC their. Great learning experience for young airman. A/C #0-61416 was one our 102A's in this video.

I'm really enjoying this series. I grew up watching F-102s of the Hawai'i Air National Guard taking off for their sorties. Later on my dad was in charge of maintaining F-106s for the 49th FIS, so I have much affection for that plane, too.

Rockets in the weapon-bay doors? Neat. Most interesting fact: getting an extra M0.25 from the coke-bottling. Enjoyed the video.

Back when I was a flight instructor I took a old timer f102 pilot for a disco flight. Dude didn’t remember his family members but still had his stick and rudder skills. One of my favorite memories as a cfi.

@rlewis1946 4 ай бұрын

At 77 years, I was pleased to hear the old timer remember his stick and rudder skills. Thanks for taking him on that flight and allowing him to remember and use those skills! Heard this today about memory loss at age: “It doesn’t matter if you forget your car keys, only matters if you forget what those keys are for…” Thank you for your Service to our Country.

Really interesting aircraft, one of the first to incorporate area rule, automaatic guidance and fire control etc. Pioneering stuff back in the day and great to see these preserved and on display.

Family friend flew the F-102 in the National Guard. Has told me some pretty interesting stories including one time he flew across a lake at low level and got in some trouble for it.

I think its cool the designers put rockets inside the bay doors themselves.

Very nice video, extensive coverage. I flew it in training at Perrin AFB in Texas and then three years in Okinawa.

@romainnelseng3264 4 ай бұрын

Thank you, Paul. Nice to see my old steed again. I flew the Deuce for a pleasant 9 years in USAF and ANG, at the start-up school at Perrin AFB, TX and the Weapons School at Tyndall AFB, Fl, in several iterations. And easy plane to fly, somewhat better with the later Case XX wing better high and low altitudes and speeds. The mission was an engineering imagination, but it needed a gun or some such. Good going.

It was a very "sleek", and fast airplane, that Convair built F-102A "Delta Dagger". I loved that really neat looking "pointy" tail-fin, and wings version of the type. It had a powerful P&W J-57 turbojet that was screamingly loud. This airplane always took off like a rocket, and travelled fast like a bullet. The later Convair F-106 "Delta Dart" was built a little larger, with a few changes, and also incorporated the P&W J-75 P-17 turbojet engine. It was also a fast and durable airplane, with similarities to the Delta Dagger. I prefer the F-102 over the F-106.

Paul thanks for another great presentation. It would be interesting in a wrap up to see how each plane improved over the previous release.

I remember back many years ago my first introduction to the F-102 was when the Air Force began converting so many into QF-102's and using them as target aircraft. The Gulf of Mexico is littered with the remains of many of them. It was amazing at the damage those aircraft could take and still fly.

Air Force runways have barrier cables at each end, and can be raised in case an aircraft loses hydraulic and breaks it stops the aircraft from over, shooting the runway

It's quite a bit slower than I would have guessed. I guess the engine wasn't quite as powerful as those that would be built just a few years later. Also...could you imagine a world war where fighter aircraft are shooting nukes at bomber formations? The cold war put us all on the brink of the unimaginable.

There's also the AIR-2 Genie, which was indeed fired with a live nuclear warhead for a test once from the F-89 Scorpion. Also available on the 106, it made for some interesting training engagements with it. There's a story about it here on YT about some training exercises between some cocky F-16s going against some F-106s and the vipers being splashed by surprise, since the rules of engagement of that exercise allowed the F-106s to "fire" genies at them. There's been quite a few very good videos on the "deuce" lately. Agreed that it's surprising that it wasn't as fast as it looks, but the "six" made up for that, it's (still) the fastest single engine production plane in existence.

@edwardpate6128 8 ай бұрын

A lot of that due to aerodynamic design vs the engine. The US Navy F-8 Crusader which also used the J-57 engine could reach Mach 1.8.

EXCELLENT VIDEO MY FRIEND TRULY EXCELLENT! 😯 🤩 LOVE THIS SERIES SO GOOD! 😊 The F-101 Voo Doo, F-102 Delta Dagger which looks a lot like the Convair CV-102 Delta Dart are they the same? Also the F-104 Starfighter also cool but theF-102is my favorite of these jets in the series! I have a new video coming out soon from The Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum in Washington DC (Well the Dulles Location) and I’ll be sure to give you and this EXCELLENT Series a shout out for sure! 😊 😁 Cheers mate 🥂 -Caleb’s Aviation. 😮
