This is a great channel, my new favorite! I have been silently wishing that you might one day do a deep-dive video about the SAGE system (development, deployment, etc.) because it seems right up your ally, but a retrospective on the Deuce is a fine substitute until that day arrives. As jet fighter history nerd, I've always been more enamored of the F-106 because it was a "better" aircraft in every way (not surprisingly, since it was the perfection of the 102), but I have recently come to appreciate the Deuce more because, of the two, it was by far the more important aircraft. The F-102 was deployed in far greater numbers and constituted the backbone of ADC at a time when the bomber threat was the paramount concern for homeland defense. By the time the F-106 went into service, the entire concept of large-scale bomber interception was being shelved due to the advent of the Soviet ballistic missile threat, and the Ultimate Interceptor came along essentially too late to fit into the overall strategic plan. Deterrence/mutually assured destruction became the answer to the threat of nuclear attack, and multirole fighters like the F-4 were a better use of resources than dedicated interceptors, expensive and limited as they were. Thanks for another enjoyable and informative video.
