F-106 Ejection Seat Rocket Motor Firing Pin. Gave a one second delay before arming the ejection seat rocket catapult to allow the canopy to leave the aircraft first. This one was found by Michael Hill in Jan 2015 inside the map case of F-106A 59-0043 when getting the canopy open. 59-0043 is undergoing restoration rebuild at the DTAM museum, Minot ND. ]photo courtesy of Michael Hill]
