Six PAck F-106's photos from Ed Gumbko collection

I had not joined the 191St at the time they had F-106's.   This is was the name six pack came from. The beginning of the ADC fighter Squadron.

Finding photo of F-106's that the 191St Fig had has been a difficult process.   During that time digital cameras are new and expensive.  Because of this the photo are from film camera.  More than like there are great photo hidden away in personal photo albums.  I have found these pictures on the internet and people I worked with facebook pages.   Many of these photo are from Eddie Gumbko facebook page.  Eddie took a lot of picture during his time with the 191st.  I believe he started at the end of the RF-84 era through the RF-101, F-106, F-4 C/D, F-16 ADF and C-130's. 
 As for the name "Six Pack" not hundred percent how the unit got that call sign.  I heard it came about after the F-106 got the vulcan gun mode.  But they folks in the unit knew how to party.  Maybe it for the six of beer...  That is a mystery I still need to solve.

  My greatest thanks goes out to Eddie.

Now for the pictures.
