A 1981 photo creation (prior to PhotoShop) of 87th FIS F-106 4-Ship with SR-71 created by Andy Laning in his darkroom. The SR-71 came to KI Sawyer for the 1981 Airshow. The 4-ship F-106 formation also flew at the same Airshow. If you look closely you will notice the US AIR FORCE on the fuselage of the Sixes is mirrored in reverse because the 4-ship was actually flying in the other direction.
