Only if we get to bring back the F-106 at the same time ;)
That was a cool plane too, I think NASA still flies a couple for research. We used to have the forerunner to the F-106 here in Pittsburgh, the F-102 for the Penna Air Nat'l Guard. Cool looking plane but noisy. I remember when I was little, every once in a while, like a 3 AM, we heard 7 or 8 of then take off over my house, sometimes the whole neighborhood would wake up.

The F-106 is by far my favorite aircraft.
NASA retired the “Six” back in 1998, and that’s also the same year that the last QF-106 was blown up.
There’s a small handful that “survived” though.
