F-106A 59-0003 on display at the Pima Air Museum, Davis Monthan AFB, Tucson AZ on 4 Jan 2020. Butch Heilig says 'The sexy girl at Pima was rolled into the restoration shop over the holidays. Don’t believe the naysayers who say she’s been allowed to rot - she hasn’t. She’s in excellent physical condition, and will require minimal preservation before a new coat of paint to preserve her for many more decades. I spoke with the Pima collection manager about her (and the Deuce), and he confirmed what the restoration shop had said about her condition.'
