An early short-tail F-102A Delta Dagger flies a test sortie in the misty water stream issued by a KB-29 tanker in clear-air icing conditions. The black radome turns a frosty gray as the visible stream impinges on the delta-wing jet fighter. A hallmark of the mid-to-late 1950s, F-102s served USAF and the Air National Guard into the 1970s.
