The Convair F-106 Delta Dart was the primary all-weather interceptor aircraft for the United States Air Force from the 1960s through the 1980s. The F-106 was designed to meet and "greet" high-flying supersonic enemy bombers and fighters at speeds in excess of Mach 2.0. It has proven to be the last dedicated interceptor in USAF service to date.

The F-106 Delta Dart was seen as a sort of "ultimate interceptor". Initial orders of the F-106 were was high as 1,000 aircraft but this total was later trimmed due to rising costs and complexity in the overall order and production of the Delta Dagger.

The F-106 served in the continental USA, Alaska, and Iceland, as well as brief periods in Germany and South Korea. The F-106 was the second highest sequentially numbered P/F- aircraft to enter service under the old number sequence before the system was reset under the 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system. In service, the F-106's official name, "Delta Dart," was rarely used, and the aircraft was universally known simply as the "Six." The F-106 was envisaged as specialized all-weather missile armed interceptor to shoot down bombers. It was complemented by other Century Series fighters for other roles such as daylight air superiority or fighter-bombing. To support its role, the F-106 was equipped with the Hughes MA-1 integrated fire-control system, which could be linked to the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) network for ground control interception (GCI) missions, allowing the aircraft to be steered by controllers.
