Talk:51st Fighter Wing

F-106's at Naha
Just a brief correction: under the "Cold War" heading it states that the 51st Wing was at Naha with F-102's.  I was stationed at Naha from 1969 to 1970 and we had two F-102's and two F-106's there on standby alert at all times, not just F-102's.  Those F-106's were a lot faster than the F-102's (having derived from the F-102 design). If trouble was heading our way those jets were scrambled FAST and got off our runway with full afterburners, their jet engines screeching so loud you couldn't even hear yourself scream if you happened to be on the flightline at the time. That's what interceptor aircraft were for, to intercept trouble before it got too close. That's why President George Bush took the initiative and got us into Afghanistan and Iraq, he had been an F-102 pilot in the Air National Guard, trained to react quickly. Many of us to this day think the F-106 was the best fighter jet the Air Force ever had in its inventory. It looked really good and flew really fast, some say as high as Mach 2.8! 63.192.101.175 (talk) 09:02, 26 February 2010 (UTC)Sgt. Rock
