@a mentor. You are correct! Thank you for the catch. I listed it correctly as an F102 as the aircraft type but showed it as F-105 in the remarks section. I have corrected the remark section. Appreciate your help. Thanks again!

Interesting shot, John! I looked to see if there is an ICAO Type Designator for the F-102, and there is not. There is for the F-106, but not the 102. And I found some more info on Joe Baugher's web site. This specific aircraft seems to be either:

56-1114, Convair F-102A-60-CO Delta Dagger, (MSN 8-10-331) 1957: USAF 5th FIS. 1958: 86th FIS. 1960: 71st FIS. 1960: South Dakota ANG 175th FIS. 1969: California ANG 194th FS/144th FG, Fresno Air Terminal, CA. To MASDC as FJ125 May 8, 1970. Departed Nov 4, 1976. Preserved at March Field Museum, California. President, George W. Bush, was an F-102 pilot when he was in the Air National Guard. To recognize his service, the museum has placed the name "Lt George W. Bush" as pilot on the side of this plane.

or:

53-1801, Convair F-102A-15-CO Delta Dagger, USAF 37th FIS. 1960-64: USAF 496th FIS. 1971: Idaho ANG 190th FS/24th FG, Boise Airport, ID. To MASDC as FJ237 Sep 13, 1971. Declared excess Aug 21, 1972. Preserved at South Dakota ANG, Sioux Falls, South Dakota as '61114'

It seems most likely to be the first one since it is in California and marked as "CALIFORNIA" - Air National Guard, I presume. But for some reason the second one was also marked as 61114. So, without more information it is hard to be 100% sure. (If, for example, it had G. W. Bush's name painted on the left side under the cockpit, that would nail it.) Thanks for sharing, John.

@Greg Byington: Thank's for all the research! From the March Air Base Museum web-site the following:
The museum's F-102A, serial number 56-1114, entered the active service in May 1957. It was stationed with the 52nd Fighter Group at Suffolk County AFB, NY, the 79th Fighter Group, Youngstown, OH and the 1st Fighter Group, Selfridge AFB, MI. In December 1960, the aircraft was transferred to the114th Fighter Group (ANG), Sioux Fall, SD and finally to the 114th Fighter Group (ANG), Fresno, CA. where it was retired in 1970 and moved into storage at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ.

In 1988, aircraft 56-1114 was mounted on a pedestal and placed on static display in front of the South West Air Division Operations Center at March AFB. In 1996, the aircraft was removed from the pedestal; by October 2000, the aircraft was restored for display at the MFAM. Today it wears the colors of its last assignment 114th Fighter Group CA ANG. This aircraft is on loan from the NMUSAF

"It seems most likely to be the first one since it is in California and marked as "CALIFORNIA" - Air National Guard, I presume."

The F-102 and its follow-on F-106 were on duty at what is now KCMA. I've see a pair come full afterburner directly out of the revetment at the Eastern end of the runway.

That is great info, John. This F-102 has moved around a lot. But it does make me wonder why 53-1801 was preserved in South Dakota as "61114." Was there something about 56-1114 that made it special? And I wonder if it is still on display in Sioux Falls. Anyway, thanks again for sharing.

And that would be a very impressive sight to see, a mentor!
