S/N 56-0459

— "Six" —

F-106A S/N 56-0459 was the primary aircraft flown during USAF's World Speed Record operation named "Project Firewall". Piloting another F-106, Capt. Joe Rogers set the record of 1595.95 MPH on 15 December 1959, a record that stands today for a single engine aircraft. In the 60's and 70's, the 318th FIS was the first F-106 unit to deploy to reinforce Alaskan (with the 498th FIS) and Korean airspace. In 1974, the "Green Dragons" were named as the USAF's Best Interceptor Squadron. F-106's flew from McChord with the 318th FIS (1960-1983), and 498th FIS (1963-1967).
