F-106 Instrument Panels from the personal collections of William 'Bill' Miranda. Bill was stationed at McChord AFB from 1978 until retirement in 1997 and worked on the MAC side. He lived under the flight path when the six's were flying locals and just loved the look of the aircraft and started collecting parts. Thanks for your contributions Bill!

Spirit of Attack - Sunday 22 February 2015 08:05
The weapons selector knob was held on with an allen screw. On a firing mission at Tyndall, the weapons selector knob fell off and rolled under the pilot's seat. The pilot used his knife to pry off another knob of the same type and jam it onto the weapons selector post to turn the selector and successfully fired his missile.

From then on, I always carried an allen wrench in my flight suit pocket. Whenever I wasn't busy, I'd tighten up the knobs, especially the weapons selector knob. It was surprising how many were loose.
