Mission and Vision

Mission Statement
To collect, catalog, publish, and share as much knowledge of the F-106 Delta Dart legacy as can be found.

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.
