+ordway Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) Fantastic! It's time for some Viet Nam action! "The F-102 served in Vietnam, flying fighter patrols and serving as bomber escorts. A total of 15 aircraft were lost in Vietnam: one to air-to-air combat..." Wiki "It was during one of these missions that an F-102 was shot down by a North Vietnamese MiG-21 using an AA-2 Atoll heat-seeking missile. The MiGs approached undetected, and one of the F-102s was shot down. The other F-102 pilot managed to shoot off some AIM-4s at the fleeing MiG-21s, but no hits were recorded." Wiki "Interestingly enough, the F-102 became fairly heavily used in the air-to-ground role. The interceptor was equipped with 24 x 2.75-in FFARs in the fuselage bay doors, and these weapons were used to good effect against various types of North Vietnamese targets. Additionally, heat-seeking Falcon missiles used in conjunction with the F-102s nose-mounted IRST (Infrared Search & Track) were employed on night time harassment raids along the Ho Chi Minh trail. This is likely the only time an air-to-air missile has been used for air-to-ground operations." Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-102_Delta_Dagger On the cockpit: Someone could play with the F-106 cockpit to make a more F-102-ish temporary cockpit. They both have the same general layout as they were based on one another. Edited May 31, 2008 by ordway Quote

Jimbib Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Betah's forum however is usually quite comprehensive for aviation books. Quote
+starfighter2 Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Yes Jimbib - but have several limitations Quote
sparkomatic Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Any chance you can do the tandem two-seat, folding wing navy version? Whoa...now that sounds cool...I saw the TF-102 which had side-side seating, but what was the designator for the navy version? Was it the Sea Dart? Quote
