" Despite this, out of a total production of 340 aircraft, 112 (including 17 two-seat F-106Bs) were lost in crashes or in ground fires during the 29 year career of the Delta Dart...."

Thanks, Cookie. Makes me crazy when people just assume fighter pilot is like taxicab driver with wings on.

I believe it was the F-104 that they dubbed the "Flying Coffin" because of all the crashes and deaths --even though they never were "in combat."
