GOLDEN MARK IN HISTORY  

December 15, 2009 marked the 50th anniversary of McChord Museums F-106's brush with history. F-106A 56-0459's (pictured above) attempt at establishing new World's Speed Record ended with historic flight by another F-106, a flight that accomplished the goal at a speed of  1,525.95. This accomplishment by the F-106 still stands for single-engined aircraft.
