 CF-101 Voodoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although they never fired a weapon in anger, the CF-101 served as Canada's primary means of air defense throughout their service life from Quick Reaction Alert facilities at Canadian airbases.
The issue of bringing nuclear weapons to Canada had not been entirely resolved in June 1961, and the CF-101s remained armed only with their secondary AIM-4D Falcon missiles.
Throughout the Voodoo era in Canada, the aircraft was a popular performer at airshows and other flying events in Canada and the United States, with displays ranging from the appearance of a single aircraft all the way up to an entire squadron.

 RCAF/CAF CF-101 Voodoo
The last colourful Voodoo was destined to also be one of the final two Voodoos to fly in Canada.
The first change to the Voodoo's markings came with the replacement of the fin flash with the new Canadian flag on February 15, 1965.
Two other Voodoos were also done up in colourful markings - No 416 Sqn had an overall white Voodoo with black trim and "416" on the tail, and also had a Lynx jumping out of a Maple Leaf on the fuselage.

 F-101 Voodoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The McDonnell F-101 Voodoo was a supersonic military aircraft flown by the USAF and the RCAF.

 Talk:CF-101 Voodoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The second batch of Voodoos for the Canadian Forces were similar to USAF 101's (most of which ended up in the Air National Guard), but did not have the underfuselage air scoop and "slime lights" (formation-keeping light strips).
The Voodoo was identified early on as the necessary replacement interceptor.
As noted above, the story of the Voodoo in Canada is a significant piece of Canadian history, playing a role in the fall of the Conservative government in 1963, and tying in with Canada's little known role as a (former) nuclear armed nation.

 McDonnell F-101 Voodoo
The McDonnell F-101 Voodoo twin-engined fighter was originally designed as a long range escort fighter to accompany the bombers of the Strategic Air Command if they were ever called upon to carry out their mission of nuclear strike against the Soviet Union.
The Voodoo was destined never to serve in this particular role--it eventually emerged as a tactical reconnaissance aircraft, as a long-range interceptor, and as a nuclear strike aircraft.
However, it was not without its flaws--in all its versions, the Voodoo had a tendency to pitch up into a nose-high attitude without warning, a problem which was caused by the way in which air flowed over its wings and under its high tail.

A formidable fighter aircraft, the McDonnell F-101 Voodoo was acquired by the RCAF under some controversy as a replacement for the CF-100 fleet in Air Defence Command.

While driving home from the Nova Scotia International Airshow (2000), I noticed an old CF-101 Voodoo along the side of the highway as part of the local museam.
The Voodoo is one of my favorite vintage interceptors, so naturally I pulled over to take a few pictures.
I discovered that there was no way I could get the entire aircraft framed the way I wanted it, (plus there was a telephone pole right in the middle) so I decided to take three pictures and 'splice' them together in Photoshop.

CF-116s continued to serve for some time though (light ground attack, lead in fighter training for the CF-18, and in Disimiliar Air Combat Maneuvers (DACM)), as they had many hours left on the airframes.
Several changes were made to the aircraft and the F-18A was born.
