The F-18 simulator cockpit was used for the F-106 simulation and Eclipse Tow Launch Demonstration project. In this project to demonstrate a reusable launch vehicle, a modified F-106 was towed aloft behind a C-141. The simulator was used in support of this study. The six tow flights occurred between December 1997 and February 1998 at Edwards Air Force Base, California.February 17, 1998NASA Photo / Carla Thomas› Eclipse Project Description
