Washington DC: United States Air Force 1961. Dated 14 April 1961 Changed 10 November 1961. Disbound stiff card pages. Good. The format is approximately 4.5 inches by 7 inches. 4 ii 14 pages. Contains original pages and pages changed on 21 July and 10 November 1961. Text is complete and the cover sheet from the 21 July 1961 Change notice has been retained. This manual contains official condensed checklists prepared from Normal Aircrew Procedures and Emergency Aircrew Procedures Sections of T. O. 1F-106A-29. It is not a substitute for the amplified checklist and provides only the basic steps and sequence. To operate the equipment in the most effective manner it is necessary to know all the considerations established in T.O. 1F-106A-29. The checklists are arranged in two-column demand-response format; demands are listed in the left-hand columns and response to the demands are given the the right-hand columns. This addresses MB-1 Rocket Methods of Attack and GAR Missiles Methods of Attack. Among the topics covered are: Armament selector Special weapon-armed light Armament trigger Arm-safe switch Escape maneuver Missile Antichaff switch Target at firing range bar Optical sight Fly pursuit course to firing position Misfire warning light Missile displaced warning light and Missile bay door. The Douglas AIR-2 Genie previous designation MB-1 was an unguided air-to-air rocket with a 1.5 kt W25 nuclear warhead. It was deployed by the United States Air Force USAF 1957-1985 and Canada Royal Canadian Air Force 1965-1968 Air Command 1968-1984 during the Cold War. Production ended in 1962 after over 3000 were made with some related training and test derivatives being produced later. The Hughes AIM-47 Falcon originally GAR-9 was a very long-range high-performance air-to-air missile that shared the basic design of the earlier AIM-4 Falcon. It was developed in 1958 along with the new Hughes AN/ASG-18 radar fire-control system intended to arm the Mach 3 XF-108 Rapier interceptor aircraft and after that jet's cancellation the YF-12A whose production was itself canceled after only 3 vehicles. It was never used operationally but was a direct predecessor of the AIM-54 Phoenix used on the Grumman F-14 Tomcat. The Convair F-106 Delta Dart was an all-weather interceptor aircraft designed and produced by the American aircraft manufacturer Convair. The F-106 was designed in response to the 1954 interceptor program. Envisioned as an imagined "Ultimate Interceptor" it was a development of the F-102 Delta Dagger and commenced as the F-102B prior to being redesignated by the United States Air Force USAF. The F-106 was designed without a gun or provision for carrying bombs instead carrying its AIM-4 Falcon air-to-air missiles within an internal weapons bay its clean exterior was beneficial to supersonic flight. Major differences from the F-102 included the adoption of the more powerful Pratt & Whitney J75 turbojet engine heavily redesigned air inlets along with a variable-geometry inlet duct to suit a wide range of supersonic speeds application of the area rule to the fuselage shaping and a general increase in size. On 26 December 1956 the first prototype performed its maiden flight. After flight testing demonstrated lesser performance gains than anticipated the USAF ultimately only ordered 350 of the planned 1000 F-106s. Becoming operational in June 1959 the F-106 was the primary all-weather interceptor aircraft of the USAF through much of the Cold War era; it ended up being the final specialist interceptor to be used by the service to date. It was never used in combat nor were any export opportunities secured. During the 1960s a competitive evaluation between the F-106 and the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II determined the latter to be marginally superior yet the type continued to be operated for a further two decades due to extensive demand for the F-4 in other roles. Convair proposed various improved models of the F-106 typically focused on the radar communications and other avionics but none of these schemes were pursued. In one high-profile incident over Montana on 2 February 1970 an unmanned F-106 recovered from a flat spin after its pilot had ejected belly landing relatively intact in a snow-covered cornfield; it was recovered and continued to be flown for numerous years afterwards. The F-106 was gradually withdrawn from USAF service during the 1980s as the arrival of newer air superiority fighters particularly the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle had made the role of dedicated interceptors obsolete. Numerous F-106s would be operated for a time by the Air National Guard. Many withdrawn aircraft were promptly converted into target drones and redesignated QF-106 under the Pacer Six program which were used up in 1998. A handful of F-106s were operated by NASA for experimental purposes such as the Eclipse Project through to 1998. United States Air Force unknown
