Description

Resplendent in the 318th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron's colors, 56-0459 is one of the oldest F-106s left, the seventh airframe produced; it was delivered to the USAF's Flight Test center in 1958.  It would go on to become one of the highest-time Sixes as well, spending most of its near 30-year career at McChord AFB, Washington.  It was retired in 1983, where it has remained ever since, and kept in remarkable condition.  Unusually, it is displayed with the weapons bay open and two AIM-4 Falcons in firing position.
