About 6 years ago, saw an F-106 doing practice approaches in Tallahassee. Any of those left?

F-106

My unit flew the Dart. There ws a group restoring a few A's (single seat) and a B or two (tandem seat) in El Paso. The work may be suspended now. Not sure if any QF's are still flying. Go to www.F-106DeltaDart.com and dosome searching there.

Does Jon Wendell still fly them at AMARC?

There's about a dozen on the ramp in Mojave, CA. I think they're being converted to drones.

Yup, he was a pilot

I'll have to check with my old man, but to the best of my knowledge DeBellvue went to UPT after Vietnam and became a F-4 Pilot, though I know he was a WSO during the war. Anyone stationed at Seymour around 81-86 timeframe that can verify this?

I was at Shady J at that time and Debellvue was a pilot there. He did get to go back to UPT and get his pilot wings. I heard more than one comment about them turning a great WSO into a mediocre pilot. I never flew in a flight with him as he was in a different squadron than me at the time. Every time I had any contact with him he seemed like a regular guy and you would never have known he was an ace by his actions. He ended up as an O-6 at Seymour and was the wing MA. I ran into him at an airshow at Flying Cloud Airport in MN a couple of years ago and he still seemed like a good guy.

I ran into him at the Auger Inn the night he retired. Very cordial. Just a real nice guy.

Here's a little something about the QF-4 Demo Team.

Tuna's last season was last year. Anyone know what he's doing now? He had his fingers into just about everything "aviation".
Nice touch with the bottle of Weed in the background.

That video was a hoot! Hope they never park the last F-4. (Yeah, I know I'm dreaming...) TC
