F-102 Delta Dagger

This aircraft is in my own opinion, one of the most beautiful fighters to ever fly (this is of course not counting hte TF-102 trainer version which was not very attractive). The ‘Deuce’ was revolutionary in that it was the first fighter to use the “area-rule” design in its fuselage. It could hit a maximum speed of Mach 1.25 (825 mph). Armed with six AIM-4 Falcon AAM’s plust 24 70-mm Mighty Mouse FFAR’s (Folding Fin Aerial Rockets), the Delta Dagger was a fearsome interceptor that would have struck fear into the heart of any Soviet bomber crew. Okay, so that last line was a little dramatic, but what can I say, I just like the aircraft. Anyway, I know this aircraft left serivce a good while back, I just wanted to get som commentary on it. Also, does anyone on this forum know how they handled?
