"You asked for more stories. We had an exercise in Korea, where the F-4s would attack and the F-106s would defend. One of my friends attacked an F-4 that was flying very low and very fast. The F-106 came in faster, got the "kill" and called "splash one F-4". As the F-106 was passing the F-4, the controller called "get his tail number". My friend chopped the power to idle and opened his speed brakes, but went past too fast to get the tail number. That evening, at the Officers Club, the F-4 pilots were at a table near the F-106 pilots. One of the F-4 jocks came over to us and complained: "We were coming in fast and low when suddenly this F-106 zoomed past us WITH HIS SPEED BRAKES OUT! What an insult"!"
