F-106A 57-0245 of ADWC on 2 November 1979 at Tyndall AFB. Note the flat gray paint, smaller US "roundels", black paint on the windscreen frame, and most noticeably the TAC-style tail number. This was just after ADCOM went away in Oct 1979 and was absorbed into TAC. This photo is possibly from Phillip Friddell's "Replica in Scale" blog. Obviously this "failed" paint scheme for the Six didn't take, but an interesting historical photo. If anyone has details on this paint scheme we would love to see comments on it.
