Convair TF-102A. Took me a few minutes. It was a side by side trainer version of the F102A

Nice, yeah I figured that might be it by the ridges on the wing, but didn't know there was a side by side cockpit

It was apparently a bit of a pig to fly. Interestingly even though it was a trainer it was kept fully combat capable (other than the loss of their Hughes fire control system) and at least a couple were used in combat roles in Vietnam.
