This photograph showcases the Convair F-106A Delta Dart 57-2478 09, a proud asset of the United States Air Force's Montana Air National Guard, 186th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, 120th Fighter Interceptor Group.

The F-106A Delta Dart, serial number 85-CO and manufacturing serial number 8-24-61, is a remarkable interceptor aircraft produced by Convair. This specific Delta Dart served with the Montana Air National Guard until it was transferred to the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center (AMARC) for disposal in 1987.
