F-106 Delta Dart of the 27th FIS Loring AFB, Maine by Tom Baker [no sound] A group of video shots of F-106's of the 27th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Loring AFB, Maine in 1969 by Tom Baker.

The first part of the disk is F-106A 59-0036 & F-106B 57-2514 in flight in summer 1969. The in-flight shots were taken by Tom Baker when he got a cross-country flight from Loring to McChord AFB, WA in August 1969. The mountain shots are of Mt. Rainier in Washington state. The 16-ship fly by was at Loring after an ORI. Col. James Thomas, Squadron Commander, was the lead. There is a shot of him taxing by with his gold helmet. The last pilot in the flight was Mark Foxwell who broke formation on the last pass because they were so low over the alert barns.

The other shot are of Col. Compton in a solo flyby during AF Day. The pilot walking across the ramp to fly, I believe is Tom Gerken. The black Mustang on the ramp belonged to Lt. Col. Peck Burkhart who was the Chief of Maintenance, great guy. He was also a pilot who had flown several types of aircraft through the his career.
