F-106A 59-0004 of ADWC leading a 4-ship flight of Century Series fighters flying over the AF Academy at Colorado Springs in 1969. [USAF photo taken by Ken Hackman from Marty Isham Collection]

Comments from Ken Hackman on 8 Jan 2014: The motivation behind the photo was; these 4 aircraft were the fighter aircraft in use in ADC at that time. They obviously brought them in for the photo [shoot] since none, that I know of, were stationed at Colorado Springs. I spent most of 1967 traveling throughout the U.S., Korea, England, Scotland, Greenland, Newfoundland photographing ADC facilities, aircraft, etc. The F-106s deployed to Korea on a six month basis. I shot them there and then flew backseat with them to Guam as they were deploying back to the states. Four hours in an F-106! My most fervent memory is; how tired and sore my butt was when we finally got to Guam. Ah the good old days!
