 On Thursday,
13 October, we hosted our monthly meeting at the
Anzio Landing Restaurant. The speaker was
Thunderbird Flight's Adjutant,
Bill "Shifty" Miller (left), his topic was
"Flying the
F-106 'Delta Dart' in Air Defense Command" (ADC). Shifty flew the
F-106 for several years including a tour
as a
Weapons School Instructor at Tyndall
AFB. He gave an outstanding presentation on the complex
history of the aircraft, starting with the "Cold War" rush to deploy
the very limited F-102. Shifty had some very interesting and
funny stories about the F-106 and his experiences flying the
aircraft and working in ADC.
