Julien Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Hi, Is there a list of aircraft reconfigured for the 20mm? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Brown Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 According to Doug Barbier's World's Fastest Single-Engine Jet Aircraft, all F-106s with the vertical tape-style instrument panels were modified to use the guns. I made a quick glance through the rest of the book to see if I could find what serial number made the change from round to tape-style instruments, but haven't found it, yet. Given Doug's love for the aircraft, I'm sure the info is in there, somewhere. I'll keep looking. Ben 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Brown Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Found it! First production F-106s with tape-style instrument panels were F-106A 57-2465 and F-106B 57-2523. Ben 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 And after years of having to scratch one or go aftermarket, the Meng Six includes the Vulcan OOTB! Good times. Cheers, Andre 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
