The 200th built F-106A Delta Dart is seen here on the flightline of Atlantic City Air National Guard Base (NJ). The Jersey Devils used this century fighter up to July 1988, after it was replaced by the F-16A/B. This 0034 was transferred to AMARC as AA FN0191 on 20 July 1988 and remained there up to 1 December 1992. The aircraft was selected for the QF-106A aerial target programme with the 82nd ATS/Det. With that unit it was shot down by a Man Portable Air Defense System (MANPADS), a Stinger, over one of the Holloman (NM) ranges on 8 November 1996.
