In this case it's a metaphor.  It signifies the "ladies" (aircraft) that are sitting in the boneyard, the mothballs for old aircraft.  The ladies are in waiting... waiting to be resurrected, waiting to be purchased by a private owner, waiting to be taken to a museum for display and things like that.

Since I don't read the language (I assume it's Russian) I can't read under your names where you guys are from.  Where are your homes?  I mean what cities or towns.

KiS is right but you probably mean F-102 Delta Dagger and F-106 Delta Dart, right?

Yes, they were much different aircraft, while at the same time being very similar.  One of the biggest difference is the F-102 was not Supersonic.

This is an exerp from my Specifications Page at http://www.f-106deltadart.com/specs.htm

The F-106 Delta Dart is a supersonic, all-weather interceptor.  Originally envisioned as an advanced derivative of the F-102A Delta Dagger and given the designation F-102B, the "Ultimate Interceptor", as it was known, entailed such extensive changes that in June, 1956, the designation was changed to F-106.   It was designed from the ground up as an Interceptor and nothing but an interceptor.   Originally designated the F-102B, it was re-designated the F-106 due to it's extensive structural changes and the more powerful Pratt & Whitney J57 engine.

LOL, yea we figured.

C/C usually stands for Crew Chief, which is the primary technician who is permanently assigned to the aircraft.  It's not a rank.  The SSgt is the rank for Staff Sergeant, which is an E-5 in the USAF.

The USAF?  No.

But everything non-military is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the regulations used are called Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR).  Here's some websites:
