F-106A 59-0040 of the 119 FIS, 177 FIG Atlantic City "Jersey Devils", NJ undergoing repairs during the mid 80's in the main hanger of the 177th for a cracked belt frame (aka bulkhead). The crack was at the front edge of the right main wheel well radiating out from a wing attach point. A team of 5 from SMALC McClellan AFB, CA (Depot) came out to replace it, with the help of Bill Huff, 59-0040's Crew Chief. Bill recalls it took about 60 days to do this job and was a lot more complicated than anyone thought it would be. Here you can see the belt frame.
