That was taught to ALL Interceptor Driver's wether it was the F-102A/TF-102A, F-101BF, F-104A/B, F-106A/B, the 57th's F-4s', F-86D/L, F-89A/B/C/D/H/J, F-94A/B/C. They were all taught Ram Tactics in case all other methods of attack failed. Thanks for the post. D2

You're exactly right.I was focusing on the F 102 to illustrate that W was no coward and his training was not for a dilettante. The ramming tactic was a well practiced(and frightening) tactic of the Cold War.Something that had to be done.
