I do not think that the unique F-102/F-106 control stick should be technically considered a yoke. It is a dual sided control stick, and the references such as technical manuals call it a stick. One side was for aircraft control, the other for radar, but they moved together in unison. Happy to be corrected, but I do not believe it was hinged at the bottom or center like a yoke for roll control. The stick moves the column like a stick. Still pretty neat, but I think it should be called a stick.
