Nope. In the background you can see an F-102 tail fin. The F-102 front windscreen had a rounded edge where the windscreen met the canopy.

The F-106 had a triangle shaped windscreen where it joined with the canopy.

When I was at Perrin the side canopy windows were prime cumshaw items. When they were no longer fit for flight duty and were sent to the scrap heap they were welded into met farmes and sold as cocktail tables. Never could get high enough on a list to get one!

That tail on the right aint no F-102!

That looks more like an F-105!

The base in my home town flew F-102's for years, I saw them for the first 10 years of my life almost, went from F-100's to F-102's to F-100's again, Bradley Field

Also, I worked at the Air Museum, and we had an F-102 there, I used to polish the paint, that tail on the right aint no F-102!~
