The F-106A Delta Dart interceptor was a brand new interceptor developed on the basis of the imperfect Convair F-102A Delta Dagger interceptor. Thanks to its advanced electronic equipment, the interceptor had excellent operational performance and thus became the main force used by the U.S. military in interception operations. Additionally, it’s an important part of the American Semi-Automatic Ground Environment. The F-106A took its first flight in the late 1950s and retired from operational troops in 1988. It’s the last special interceptor in the U.S. military. Its long service life let it rank in the top of the Century Series fighter aircrafts. Because of its advanced technology and high confidence level, it was never exported. The F-106A’s called “Ultimate Interceptor”
