Mike has made us a nice Christmas present again. An F-102 NASA bird making high-speed low-altitude runs over Alaska.

I could not really occupy myself with the F-102 and ignore the new F-106, could I? As beautiful as their older sister these two USAF Darts are also flying over Alaska.

Great Martin , the Dagger is one Delta that always tickled my fancy ... no were quick as a Dart but very could really turn and do things the others couldn't ... thing tho I've never seen it in that NASA livery ... this one they have kept hidden from me .

Wonderful Christmas days to you, Ian, and the rest of the crowd. Yes, the NaSA bird was always so fast and so low that it was a secret for years. Wouln't I have been in Alaska...

I am very much looking forward to the upcoming releases of the F-100, F-101 and F-105 from Mike. When all of his Century Fighter series are available I will make a formation shot having all six (the F-104 was the first he did publish) in one shot.

By the way, today MAIW has released the Barksdale package, featuring his B-52.
