 Convair F-102A 57858 Delta Dagger at the Tyndal AFB linear airpark on 26 January 1985. The correct application of the serial number would read 57-0858 |
 The trainer version of the Delta Dagger had side-by-side seating. This was an unusual approach for a supersonic aircraft, and the resultant drag increase rendered the trainer, known as the "Tub", incapable of reaching the speed of sound in level flight. |
 Many F-102s and TF-102s that served at northern bases wore arctic red as seen on this aircraft. This followed the example of earlier fighter types such as the F-86D/L and F-89 Scorpion, making the aircraft more visible for rescue purposes when set against the white, snowy background. |
 The Douglas F4D Skyray was an early carrier-based supersonic fighter. This example, displayed at the CAHA museum at Bradley Field is painted to resemble one of the early test examples. The F4D-1 Skyray was a small, sprightly performer when compared to Air Force fighters of the 1950s. |

 F-105D display at the Davis-Monthan AFB airpark in Arizona on 8 January 1988. The tail # is surious, as there was no F-105D 61-355. This is likely the result of marking the aircraft as having served with the 355 TFW, based at D-M AFB |
