EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the iconic Convair F-106A Delta Dart 56-0453 of the United States Air Force in all its glory. The aircraft, belonging to the 49th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome, NY, is shown here circa 1982, showcasing its sleek design and powerful presence.
This particular F-106A Delta Dart was later converted into a QF-106A (AD111) for target drone purposes before tragically crashing while flying from Holloman AFB on January 27, 1995. Despite its ultimate fate, this image immortalizes the aircraft during its prime years as a formidable fighter interceptor.
The detailed craftsmanship and precision engineering of this delta-winged beauty are evident in every inch of the photograph. From its distinctive nose cone to its swept-back wings and tail fins, this aircraft exudes speed and agility.
As you gaze upon this piece from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, you can almost hear the roar of the engines and feel the rush of adrenaline that comes with witnessing such a magnificent machine take flight. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and skill of those who piloted these incredible warbirds in defense of our nation.
