Thanks again to JacobBadshot for the 106 template

On February 2nd, 1970 an F-106 of the 71st Fighter-Interceptor Squadron was conducting routine ACM training when it entered a flat spin, the pilot ejecting after he could not regain control of the aircraft. Interestingly the ejection shifted the Delta Dart's center of gravity far enough back for it to exit the spin and the pilotless aircraft glided to a soft landing in a Montana farmer's field, leading to its nickname. 58-0787 was recovered and served until 1988 when it was transferred to the National Museum of the United States Air Force where it remains on display to this day
