This is the first Convair F-106B-31-CO / NF-106B / JF-106B Delta Dart 57-2507 (0-72507) "family model". Civilian registration was N607NA. She was used as a chase support and ejection seat test aircraft. Also used in final qualification tests for Gemini spacesuit and spacecraft escape systems as well as solar cell calibration tests and air sample collections. Later transferred to NASA as "NASA 607" @ Langley AFB in May 1981 and cut in half lengthwise for wind tunnel tests. Finally sold for scrap on 24 Feb 84.
