This month's featured aircraft is the McDonnell F-101B Voodoo! Our F-101B that is on display at Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum is shown with the Happy Hooligans of the North Dakota Air National Guard in this 1975 photo. F-101s were in service with USAF and RCAF (Canada) for about 20 years, starting in 1957. The reconnaissance version (RF-101B) played a crucial role in the Cuban Missile Crisis and also served in the Vietnam War. Visit the Air & Space Museum to see the aircraft in person!
