McDonnell F 101 Voodoo PART ONE

Originally intended for a role that no longer existed by the time production was ready to start, the often-modified F-101 persevered and filled three roles over its service life. Part one looks at the development of the F-101 and the first two of those roles: Low Altitude Fighter Bomber and Reconnaissance.

See Part Two which will look at the F-101B and its Fighter Interceptor mission, along with details of the two airplanes filmed for these two episodes.

Thank you for saying "thanks" to the volunteers who restore these airplanes and the museums that make them accessible. ‪@USAFmuseum‬
