sometimes used their IR ball as a 2.75 FFAR aim point for ground attack missions.
* The IR ball was part of the Hughes MG 10 fire control system
integrated with the AIM 4 Falcon
1 x F102 was shot down by a Mig in 67 i think.
* An F-102 of the 509th FIS/ 405thFW was shot down by an Atoll
air-to-air missile fired from a North Vietnamese Air Force MiG-21
'Fishbed'. This took place on the 3rd of February, 1968 while flying
MiG CAP over Route Pack 4
