Conceptual JASDF/Convair F-106J’s from the 101st SQ 3rd AW: During the 1960s Convair attempted to interest foreign customers in the F-106 Delta Dart. Proposals were issued to Canada, West Germany, and Japan. None were sold to allies. Erik Simonsen photo/illustration. The Delta Dart was never exported to foreign air forces. There was a proposal for an F-106 version for Japan (F-106J) with an MG-10 fire control system (the same one that was fitted to the F-102A Delta Dagger) and six Super Falcon missiles. It was also to have ground-attack capability, with a pair of pylons underneath each wing capable of carrying bombs or fuel tanks. The Japanese sale never took place and several years later Japan undertook manufacture of the F-4EJ Phantom. A pair of F-106's were displayed at the 25th Paris Air Show in June of 1963, but no customers were forthcoming. Convair tried to interest Canada in a Canadian version-not merely as in interceptor but also for the strike role. Nothing ever came of this idea. There were also plans for F-106 final assembly and production in Germany, but these plans never reached fruition.
