F-106A 57-2485, 59-0058, 59-0129 waiting to be loaded on the barge that will head them out to sea to become an artificial reef in the Gulf of Mexico. This is from a video capture by Dick Lewis from an undated video provided by Steve Shipton showing three expired QF-106s being dumped into the Gulf of Mexico in about 100 feet of water to form a fishing reef. Tail numbers are 57-2485, 59-0058, and 59-0129. [Dick Lewis Collection submitted by Steve Shipton 15 Jan 2001]
