The F-106 supersonic interceptor entered service with the U.S. Air Force in 1959. This aircraft did not take part in combat operations in Vietnam, but the possibility of using it as air cover was considered. In view of this, in 1972 the fighter was modernized under the Six Shooter program, where it was equipped with an internal cannon, an optical sight and a transparent canopy. Closer to the 1980s, the U.S. Air Force switched to more modern fighters, causing the F-106s to be transferred to the National Guard, serving until 1988.

How to get all rewards
Each stage is unlocked for 35,000 mission points and brings a new reward.
Please note: Once the stage is unlocked, you will need to claim your reward manually. To do this, click on your profile, select the Sky Guard category, and click Claim Prize.
You’re able to earn mission points in Air Battles at Rank III or above in Arcade, Realistic and Simulator Battles. The number of mission points to complete a stage depends on the game mode and the maximum Rank of the vehicle that you use in battle. There’s a multiplier for earning mission points, which is shown in the task description in-game.
You can also earn mission points by using event vehicles that are Rank I and II. Event vehicles that can be used have the name of the event that they were obtainable in on their stat card.
Stages change every two days at 11:00 GMT: August 15th, 17th, 19th, 21st, 23rd and 25th.

Discounts on purchasing stages using Golden Eagles
Incomplete stages can be purchased for Golden Eagles, but if you’re significantly close to completing a stage, its price will now be significantly reduced.
Let’s say you have earned 85% of the required mission points to complete a stage, then the price of purchasing this stage will be halved. If you’re near the finish line for a stage and are at 95% progress, then the price will be reduced by five times. For example, if you’ve earned 30,000 mission points, then the price for unlocking this stage will be 499 Golden Eagles. If you’ve earned 33,500 mission points, then you’ll only need to pay 199 Golden Eagles. Remember to keep this in mind if you cannot complete a stage on time!
The Upgrade for a coupon
When you complete 7 stages, you’ll receive a non-tradable coupon for the F-106A “Six Shooter” where using it will immediately activate the vehicle onto your account. If you don’t want the vehicle and would like to sell the coupon on the Market, you’ll need the “Upgrade for coupon” item.
The “Upgrade for coupon” item can be earned in parallel with the stages throughout the event from August 13th (11:00 GMT ) until August 25th (11:00 GMT) for 600,000 mission points.
After receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” item, you can convert a non-tradable coupon for the vehicle into a tradable one and sell it on the Market. The tradable coupon can be sold after 6 days from the moment it’s created.
The “Upgrade for coupon” item is valid until August 29th (11:00 GMT). Until this time, you can use it or exchange it for War Bonds. Afterwards, it’ll disappear from your inventory.
To make a tradable coupon, select the “Coupon F-106A “Six Shooter” (USA)” in your inventory and click the “Modify” button.
You can track the progress of completing stages and receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” by clicking on your Nickname > Achievements > Sky Guard. If you don’t manage to complete a stage on time or would like to purchase a stage, until August 29th from the Achievements window, you can purchase each stage with Golden Eagles which will give you the corresponding rewards.
