Created in 1998 this collection of F-106 Delta Dart information was initially intended to put down in-writing your webmasters personal memories as an F-106 crew chief with the 87 FIS "Red Bulls" and the 318 FIS "Green Dragons". Since then the site has evolved into a comprehensive historical and technical museum-grade archive - a tribute to both the aircraft and the people who flew, maintained, and engineered it dedicated to preserving its rich history. It has been used as a reference by numerous book authors and many content creators, and is a place to share experiences, memories, photos and stories of this historical World Speed Record aircraft. We are constantly searching for additional content of anything F-106 related, so contact us if you wish to share.
Mission Statement

Our Vision
Commemorating the past to preserve the memory of the F-106 Delta Dart heritage, keep its history alive, and share its historic legacy with the world.
Our Mission
Founded in 1998 by Patrick McGee, the www.f-106deltadart.com historical website coordinated with other F-106 Delta Dart groups to form an association in 2018. Collaborative efforts included the F-106 website creator, F-106 reunion committees, Authors of F-106 books, F-106 Facebook social media groups, F-106 Alumni groups and many aviation enthusiasts. The association is dedicated to preserving the history, lineage and memory of the Convair F-106 Delta Dart, the Ultimate Interceptor, last of the US Air Force Century Series Fighters. The association advocates with a large F-106 “Six” community of pilots, maintainers and aviation enthusiasts all sharing a common experience of working with this legendary World Speed Record holding jet aircraft.
