@viper.mach: The Convair F-102 Delta Dagger, nicknamed "The Deuce", was the first operational supersonic interceptor and delta-wing fighter for the US Air Force. Designed to intercept Soviet bombers, it entered service in 1956 and was retired in 1976. The F-102 had a number of firsts, including being the world's first supersonic all-weather jet interceptor and the USAF's first operational delta-wing aircraft. #usmilitary #fighterjet #supersonic #edit
