"Pechs1" wrote in message ... Tex- Political considerations aside, the F-102s were in SEA for a period of...gasp...ten years. BRBR When did they go? In August 1961 four F-102As of the 509th FIS deployed to Bangkok's Don Muang Airport. The following March F-102s deployed to Tan Son Nhut AB. The F-102 served in Vietnam until 1970. When did they convert the F-102 to be able to carry a gun pod and Aim-9? They didn't. Or was it the F-106? Some F-106s were modified to carry the cannon. It did not carry the AIM-9. |

"Pechs1" wrote in message ... Ronca- You appear to know very little about those things. BRBR Trained ANG guys when in USAF exchange with 61st TFS and 13th TFTS. Sounds like a good opportunity to learn something about the ANG. It's a shame you wasted it. |

"Tex Houston" wrote in message ... Started deploying in small detachments to SEA in April 1961, larger detachments in 1964, first loss of 14 total was 27 November 1964. Since they served primarily in the air defense role no weapons changes necessary except no nuclear warheads. Biggest problem was providing a cobbled together probe as the F-102 had no provision for air refueling. The refueling probe was used only for the deployment and removed on arrival. |
