Awesome! Now I know why the SR-71 got phased out: Much better results can be obtained with a transport doing touch & goes!

North Korea next? :wink:

Mr. Brad - I'm sure that an F-102 fits in a C-17 :D
It'd give the loadmaster a workout!

"where are you going with that??"

"Uh, going with what?"

"THAT airplane!"

"Oh, this! - manufactures recall - it needs to be, ah, um, worked on!"

Got some history on the F-102's

Both F-102A-55-CO

56-1007 flew with the 2nd FIS and then to the TXANG, where our president probably has logged some flight time in!!! Would be a good thing to mention to help get her back in the country.

56-0981 flew with 317thFIS and then HIANG.

Great shots Brad, people have been arrested in Greece for less!!
Some quick questions on the F-102. The two seater, was it a trainer or was the second seat for a navigator/RIO?. Also are there any preserved?
IMHO the two seater was the better looking of the two!!! (I like my aircraft on the ugly side any way!!!)
