Convair newsletter "Convairety' Wed 9 Jan 1957, Vol. 10 No. 1 Off for Edwards:



F-106A [56-0451], well covered in canvas, is shown as it left San Diego in mid-December, by truck, headed for Edwards AFB, CA and its maiden flight. There was no fanfare. Airplane was accompanied by a security detail from San Diego. Johnson, Convair chief engineering test pilot at Edwards Air Force Base, rolled the delta wing interceptor onto the long east-west runway at the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) shortly after 2:40 p.p.. Without afterburner, he cleared the runways at 2:50 p.m. and picked up his "convoy". The convoy consisted of a TF-102A and T-33. The T-33 contained Bill Carter, Convair San Diego movie photographer.
