	F-102A-55-CO Delta Dagger 32 FIS., USAFE, based at Soesterberg, The Netherlands in Feb 1963. Only 800 produced, of which very few of this superb model have been imported to the UK, so get one while you can. In 1955 the 32nd Fighter Day Squadron was formed at Soesterberg the Netherlands. In 1956 their F-86’s were replaced by the North American F-100. On July 18, 1958 the unit was re-designated 32nd TFS. In January 1959 the 32nd received 18 F-102A Delta Daggers and were re-designated an FIS. On July 1, 1960 the 32nd FIS was assigned to the USAFE 86th Air Division at Ramstein Air Base in West Germany. The 32nd flew the Delta Dagger from 1959 to 1969 when they transitioned to the F4E Phantom II. The Convair F-102 Delta Dagger was designed to be an interceptor aircraft and act as the core of USAF air defenses in the late 1950s. The F-102 first appeared in service in 1956 with the task to intercept Soviet bombers. The official name for the F-102 was “Delta Dagger” but the most common term used was “Deuce”.
