During aircraft conversions, there are many two-ship aircraft photographs shown the current and future aircraft. This photographs shows a F-86L Sabre Interceptor and a F-102A Delta Dagger flying off Diamond Head.

It was early in the conversion because the planes still have “Hawaii Air Guard” markings vice “U.S. Air Force.” Additionally, the Deuce does not have a round ANG logo on the vertical stabilizer.
