F-106A 56-0467 at Edwards AFB CA in May 1960. This is the aircraft, in the same color scheme, that Maj Joe Rogers set the World Speed Record in. Note the missing paint on vertical fin, which was a result of the high speed flight during the World Speed Record in Dec 1959 4 months prior. [Photo taken by Bob Cooper. Marty Isham Collection]
