This is the reproduction version of the 95th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (FIS) that flew the F-106 Delta Dart built by Convair — strictly air defense — never saw combat. It holds the record as the fastest single seat, single engine fighter ever built — Mach 2.29, 1525.95 mph, 40,500 feet, 15 December 1959, Edwards AFB, CA. 95FIS ultimately ended up flying F-16s and I think the F-22 a little later, with Tactical Air Command as the 95th Fighter Squadron around 2000. All the 106s were decommissioned, and some served as aerial targets — too bad. Their mascot, Mr. Bones, lives in current bomber and fighter squadrons around the USAF. This patch does not have velcro attached.
