F-106B 57-2516, NASA ID No. N616NA of the NASA Lewis Research Center, Cleveland OH (NASA N816NA while at Langley Research Center, Hampton VA). Landing roll-out. A chain barrier was stretched across the runway with 1000' remaining for all landings since the civilian airport at Cleveland did not have military arresting barriers. This was during the Transonic Speeds Research. [NASA via Earle Boyer collection]
