A true century fighter, the F-106A Delta Dart, what a beautiful fighter it is. The Jersey Devils were one of the last squadrons operating the Dart before transitioning to F-16. This 59-0046 was converted to QF-106A aerial target after a period of storage at AMARC. It was destroyed over the Gulf of Mexico on 10 October 1996.
