F-106A 58-0790, 59-0132 59-0136 of the 194 FIS Fresno ANG, CA. Not sure what's going on with the paint on these jets at this time. 59-0132 looks like it has not been painted in the 'Golden Bear' tail flash markings yet, maybe came back from depot? If it was still wearing the pre-Golden Bear scheme it would have a buzz number on the tail above the serial number, so probably not an early marking. 59-0136 looks rough! The paint is peeling, no golden bear, maybe in a transition period? 58-0790 looks good. Possibly this is the time period when the 194th was converting from the Golden Bear to the later "Blue Striped" tail flash and these are in-work? If 59-0132 just came out of depot they want to wait and paint in new? And 59-0136 was in-work?
