Dan,

Yep, one was made by Convair. I think the F-102 was the one with some
oscillation problems in flight. They couldn't design it out. I think Pres.
Bush flew the F-102 in the Air Natl Guard.

They have a Voodoo on display as you drive into Kessler AFB. Man, it is a
big plane.

Got to see a Blackbird while at the U.S.S. Alabama museum. That was nice. I
saw a picture of a SR-71 taking off and already a bit faster than the F-104
in afterburner right beside him. The F-104 had made a low pass for the
picture. Both were only about 20 feet off of the runway!
