Convair F-102A Delta Dagger
S/N 56-1515
On 13 December 1956, McChord's 325th FW's 317th FIS upon receiving their first F-102, was the base's first fighter squadron to go "supersonic". the 325th's other squadron, the 318th FIS would receive their first F-102 one year later. In an effort to reinforce airspace over the northern approaches of North America, F-102s of the 317th FIS were reassigned to Elmendorf AFB, Alaska in 1957. That year, the 64th FIS moved to McChord replacing the 317th FIS. F-102's were flown by the 317th FIS (1956-1957), 318th FIS (1957-1960) and 64th FIS (1957-1960).
