F-106A 59-0004 of ADWC leading a 4-ship flight of Century Series fighters over the Rampart Range, Colorado Springs CO in 1967. [USAF photo taken by Ken Hackman from Marty Isham Collection]

Comments from Ken Hackman on 8 Jan 2014: This Looks like the same photo [as the one over Academy]. I think this was probably shot sometime in 1967. I have to search through my files to narrow down the time of year. The motivation behind the photo was; these 4 aircraft were the fighter aircraft in use in ADC at that time. They obviously brought them in for the photo [shoot] since none, that I know of, were stationed at Colorado Springs. I spent most of 1967 traveling throughout the U.S., Korea, England, Scotland, Greenland, Newfoundland photographing ADC facilities, aircraft, etc. The F-106s deployed to Korea on a six month basis. I shot them there and then flew backseat with them to Guam as they were deploying back to the states. Four hours in an F-106! My most fervent memory is; how tired and sore my butt was when we finally got to Guam. Ah the good old days!
