Summary
edit.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Because the handling characteristics of delta-wing aircraft are very different from conventional aircraft, particularly at take-off and landing, it was determined that a dedicated trainer was needed for pilots transitioning to the F-102. Nicknamed The Tub for its redesigned bulbous nose, the TF-102A allowed pilots to learn the intricacies of high-speed interceptor tactics as well as of the plane's tricky handling. Each squadron that flew Delta Daggers was assigned two trainers as well. A total of 111 TF-102s were built. (Text: Pima Air and Space Museum) |
