Hi Doug,
I served in Duluth from Sept 1961 through Sept 1964 and was a technician working on the F-106. My specialty was AFCS 32251A, which was for maintaining the MA-1 Weapons Control System (built by Hughes Electronics). During my last year or so I was selected to debrief pilots after their "sorties", to help determine if they were able to destroy their simulated targets (using radar scope films and WSEM digital/analog tapes) and issue work orders for equipment failures. During this last year, I believe that I may have debriefed your father on more than one occasion. If my memory servers me right, your father had been to Tyndall AFB in a F106-B for the annual competition event and was on a return trip to Duluth when the accident occurred. It gives me pleasure to know that I serviced old 460 that your father flew in and had the honor to know him.
Sincerely,
AFC1 Robert Brown

Good old 560460 - My father's plane back in the early 60's when he was the 11th FIS commander. A pleasant surprise to find this picture here.
