CF-101 Voodoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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. Voodoos were dispatched with some regularity to intercept unidentified NORAD radar contacts – usually airliners flying off course, although 416 and 425 occasionally intercepted Soviet Tu-95 Bear bombers flying along the Atlantic coast to Cuba. The Voodoo's primary armament was nuclear AIR-2A Genie unguided air-to-air rockets, and there was significant political controversy in Canada about their adoption. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/CF-101_Voodoo   (1625 words)

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. www.internetmodeler.com /1999/july/galleria/voodoo.htm   (633 words)

F-101 Voodoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The McDonnell F-101 Voodoo was a supersonic military aircraft flown by the USAF and the RCAF. In service, the RF-101C was nicknamed 'Long Bird.'

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. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:CF-101_Voodoo   (1098 words)

McDonnell F-101 Voodoo There is one recorded instance of a navigator surviving a zero altitude ejection (Voodoo number 023 on January 14, 1978 at CFB Comox, B.C.) when the aircraft rolled to the left on landing and came to a stop inverted. It was not unknown in the early Voodoos for the instrument panel to fall into the pilots lap. Below 15,000 feet standing orders were to eject since the Voodoo lost altitude quickly without lift. www.fighter-planes.com /info/f101.htm   (1251 words)

McDonnell F-101B Voodoo The F-101B was a two-seat all-weather interceptor variant of the Voodoo, and was numerically the most important Voodoo variant, with a total of 479 being built. The last Voodoo in US service (F-101B-105-MC 58-300) was finally retired by the 2nd Fighter Interceptor Training Squadron at Tyndall AFB in Florida on September 21, 1982. Development of an all-weather interceptor version of the Voodoo was first considered as early as the fall of 1952, but was rejected at that time as being too costly. home.att.net /~jbaugher1/f101_3.html   (2429 words)

McDonnell F-101 Voodoo As the RF-101, Voodoos were used widely for low-altitude photo coverage of missile sites during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and during the late 1960s in Southeast Asia. Voodoos were primary used as all-weather interceptors and supersonic photo-recon aircraft (RF-101). However, with the advent of high-speed, high-altitude jet bombers, escort fighters were not needed. www.shanaberger.com /F-101.htm   (90 words)

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. oldkunnel.net /hgr18051.html   (2156 words)

Comox Air Force Museum - Air Park - Voodoo 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. After the dramatic cancellation of the Canadian designed CF-105 Arrow aircraft just two year before, the nuclear capable CF-101 Voodoo and the Bomarc missile were acquired by RCAF in a deal with the United States. Used almost exclusively in the NORAD defence role, the aircraft type proved to be a safe and reliable weapons platform until replaced by the McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet in the mid-eighties. www.comoxairforcemuseum.ca /airpark/voodoo.html   (199 words)

McDonnell F-101 Voodoo on DetailSITE! First flown as the XF-88 in 1948, the Voodoo underwent a radical transformation to become a fantastic interceptor, and one of the longest-serving aircraft in the US Air Force. Being a long-time Voodoo fan, I certainly had mixed emotions seeing her in this state...I guess the best that can be said is that she's in good hands now, and will definitely cut a dashing pose among the throngs of Mustangs and Mitchells which populate that field! From the single-seat A models which entered service in 1954-55, to the two-seat dedicated interceptor B models, and a few RF variants, the Voodoo provided sterling service until it was phased out of ADCOM use around 1982. detailsite3.tripod.com /f101/f101page.htm   (371 words)
