Hi Doug - Thought I'd touch base with you to see if there is anything significant to add on my site concerning the restoration effort for F-106B 59-0158.

 

Thanks....Erv Smalley

Erville:

 

Yes, the photo was taken on 22 Mar. The info on your site is correct. It will be restored with 329th markings even though only assigned there for a few weeks. We want to tell the story of ADC on alert at Edwards and this Delta Dart will do nicely. It will be displayed on it's gear in our outdoor airpark.

 

You can add:

 

Arrived 25 Feb 03 by truck from DM. Contractor was Worldwide Aircraft Recovery http://www.worldwideaircraft.com/  with funding provided by the Flight Test Historical Foundation, our museum's support organization. Expect to start restoration in Jan 04.

 

Credit me with photos. Attached a couple others taken the same week.

 

Regards,

Hello - I have a web-site at http://www.convairf-106deltadart.com and the below URL is what I have posted to dated on 59-0158. Is the attached photo showing 158 at Edwards now? If I could get some details, I'd like to update my site with this good news of another F-106 being saved. Who should I credit for the photo, when was it taken, was the aircraft taken apart at Tucson or did it somehow arrive at Edwards in one piece, when & how did it arrive at Edwards, is it going on a pedestal or will it be left like the photo, etc? Any additional photos of the move and upcoming restoration would greatly be appreciated.
