Since the F-102A Delta Dagger’s performance was below that hoped for the US Air Force’s “1954 Interceptor,” it was put into production as a temporary design until the more advanced F-102B could enter production. The F-102B was designated the “Ultimate Interceptor” and would indeed be considered the last word in jet interceptors of the 1950s. So many design changes were made that the USAF redesignated the F-102B the F-106A Delta Dart, the sixth and last of the named Century Series designs.
The F-106 was slightly larger than its predecessor and far more aerodynamically clean, incorporating area rule from the start. It also had a larger engine, the J75, which required more airflow than the F-102’s J57: the F-106 would subsequently be the first USAF aircraft to be equipped with a variable geometry intake. By the time the prototype YF-106 was ready in December 1956, the Hughes MA-1 fire control system, which had been the original premise for both Convair deltas, was finally ready. The F-106 would share a similar armament to the F-102, with AIM-4 Falcon air-to-air missiles, though it could also carry a single AIR-2 Genie nuclear-tipped rocket, which the F-102 could not. Flight performance was good, with a speed twice that of the F-102, and pilots reported that the “Six,” as it was rapidly nicknamed, was easier to fly than the “Deuce.” However, it suffered from teething problems with the MA-1 fire control system, along with various other avionics problems, and the USAF sliced the anticipated order of a thousand Delta Darts to only a little over 300. The first F-106A reached the USAF in October 1959. A two-seat conversion trainer, the F-106B, soon followed.
Initially, the F-106 was not well received. While it had more than adequate performance, the MA-1 proved to be a nightmare, vision from the cockpit was poor, and the ejection seat was deadly to anyone who used it. Convair responded with a plethora of changes, including a redesigned wing, a better ejection seat, the same infrared “turret” used by the F-102, inflight refuelling, and better avionics. With these improvements, the accident rate dropped and F-106 pilots found they could even compete effectively with the latest F-4E Phantom IIs entering service in the late 1960s. The Six had gone from being reviled to being loved.
With this and the Vietnam experience in mind, the USAF further upgraded the F-106 beginning in 1970 with Project Six-Shooter: this update added a General Electric M61 Vulcan 20mm gatling cannon in the weapons bay, an optical gunsight, and a redesigned, frameless canopy. (Though all F-106s received the frameless canopy, not all got the full Six-Shooter package.) Even more advanced F-106 variants were considered, but production of the F-15 Eagle ended those plans. The USAF withdrew its active-duty F-106s from service in 1979, but it would soldier on admirably in Air National Guard service until 1988, while NASA chase planes would remain until 1998. It would be the last of the Century Series to be retired. 342 were built; at least 22 survive in museums. Most surviving F-106s were converted to QF-106 drones and expended as targets until the last was shot down in 2003.
Though painted as 57-2456, this is actually 58-0793, which would jump between an incredible number of units during its long career. Entering service with the 27th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron at Loring AFB, Maine in 1959, it wasn't with that unit long before it went to the legendary 94th FIS (the "Hat in the Ring"), at the time based at Selfridge AFB, Michigan. It would remain with the 94th until 1971, when it was transferred to the 2nd FIS at Wurtsmith AFB, also in Michigan, then began a short stint with two Air National Guard units--the 191st FIG (Michigan ANG), back at Selfridge, and the 177th FIG (New Jersey ANG) at Atlantic City. 1978 saw 58-0793 back in the active duty force, with the 84th FIS at Castle AFB, California, then finally finished up with the 5th FIS at Minot AFB, North Dakota from 1981 to 1985. (Whew!)
58-0793 was then converted to a QF-106 drone, but survived the drone program to be finally grounded in 2002. The USAF heard that Castle was interested in obtaining a Six, so the aircraft was donated to the Castle Air Museum. It was painted in the colors of the 456th FIS, also based at Castle; as 58-0793 had never served with that unit, it was displayed as 57-2456, which had been expended as a drone in 1994.
Whatever its identity, 58-0793 looks great in the colors of the 456th FIS, which were gaudy even by F-106 standards. The tail badge on this side of the aircraft is an Air Defense Command badge; the squadron badge is carried on the opposite side. It is displayed with the infrared sensor in the nose open and an AIM-4 Falcon beneath the fuselage. It's always a pleasure to see a Six, and this marked the fourth I had seen on my May 2021 trip.
This pivoting dagger that fits the offset case is a clever design. It pivots without a pivot pin, can be removed just as a dagger can, yet will pivot if it strikes the ground in shallow water. The dagger pivoted section is outside the hull since there is no centreboard case.

Luftwaffe Dagger [M1937] with Hangers, Portepee and Artificial Damascus Blade by Pet. Dan. Krebs Solingen
This 2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger is in MINT condition with Artificial Damascus Blade. Model 1937. The total length is 43.0 cm. The Dagger has the maker mark on the blade: PET. DAN. KREBS SOLINGEN - Peter Daniel Krebs, Solingen.
Grip: The pommel has good detail to the oak leaves that surround the swastikas on both sides. These oak leaves have hand enhancements, and good pebbling in the plain areas. The crossguard features a fine, Luftwaffe eagle flying to the left, clutching a mobile swastika in his talons. The detail to the bird's head and breast area is still mint. The pebbled pattern on the reverse is also in good condition. The grip is a wartime white example, which is the style that has a carved wood base internally. This grip is in very good condition, except for a couple of extremely small hairliners that appear in the upper rib section. The grip is tightly wrapped with twisted, silver wire.
Blade: The blade is an artificially etched example, which is done in the pattern of "small roses". The blade is in MINT condition throughout, with no flaws or problems. The artificial Damascus was known as the "poor man's Damascus", as it certainly was priced a lot cheaper than a true Damascus blade, but yet gave a fine, dramatic effect to the piece. The reverse ricasso is etched with a shield device, having a lobster inside. The lobster is well detailed, with its two claws sticking upward. Around the shield is the firm's name and location, "PET. DAN KREBS/ SOLINGEN". The original black leather blade buffer is in place.
Scabbard: The scabbard appears to be a generic style. This scabbard is nice and straight throughout, and has good, plated surfaces. The bands have good detail to the oak leaves positioned on 45 degree angles around the circumference. The throat is retained by two headless, flush mount screws, one on each side.

The Dagger
The Paper Airplane The Dagger was one of the earliest interceptor planes it´s ever designed. The first was constructed back in 1991, and it remained the most effective plane in this area until the Piranha was designed in 1996. Over short range it is very fast and accurate, the two most important factors in an interceptor plane. With practice I can make it hit a 2cm target most of the time over a range of 3 metres. However, over longer distance its performance rapidly decreases. Even so, if you want to have a Paper Aeroplane War with someone, this isn’t a bad plane to use.Posted in How to make a paper airplane > Hunters

I found this on our front door jamb and took two pix. one from above (top - slightly off focus) and one from the side.
I think it's a grey dagger, (Acronicta psi); but would welcome confirmation or otherwise.

Another caterpillar find, this one on a tree in my yard. According to my newest field guide (Caterpillars of Eastern North America by Wagner), this one looks to be an Interrupted Dagger Moth (Acronicta interrupta). They are apparently fond of apples, cherries, birch, oak and maple trees, which would certainly match where I found this one chewing on the foliage.
My remaining Woolly Bears have really slowed down on eating now, and it looks like one of them has started spinning a cocoon. Wee! I may see them turning into moths after all.

I have been busy of late...this work just finished. The handle is an old cutlery handle made hundereds of years ago of Sterling Silver...the blade, my work from the forge...chainsaw chain, welded at high heat and then twisted into an interesting pattern...then shaped, polished, etched to bring out the colours of the different metals...
The desert protects itself in ways I never expected upon moving here 8+ yrs ago. For instance when I was a child growing up in Idaho, trees were for climbing, swinging, cherry dropping down from, or building forts and treehouses, etc. The trees in Arizona *dare* you to climb. Their very branches sway and mock your intentions because they each carry some pretty painful spikes.
The orange trees, the lemon trees, even the scrub and weeds end up having evil little stickers that cling to every pore. Every Arizonan who has pryed off a goat head thorn from their foot knows how evil the desert can be... hell even the thorn itself looks satanic.
This particular photo shows the arms of a palm tree... reaching out, daring you to take a closer look :) It reminds me of flames that guys sometimes paint on their vehicles.
