Anyone hear about this?

I saw the F-106 at EDW on static display when I was out there in 1997. They used a drag chute release off a B-52 for the tow hook on the -106. I took some video of it in Hi8mm. One day I'll transfer it to DVD.

Here's some more info on the company:

Of course no one here at Holloman (or Tyndall) thought much of being towed like a glider in an F-106. The project acquired the nickname "Dope on a rope" when we first heard about it. Mark wasn't very fond of it during his training here, but when he returned after completion of the project, he said he preferred "dope on a rope" to what the NASA folks at Edwards were calling him--"The Drag Queen!"
