Thank you for your service, on behalf of NORAD. Used to love the Voodoos, the hard light AB, they'd close the show at the CNE, yearly.

Love the design of the F-101 Voodoo, worked on them when I was in the USAF, Tech School @ Sheppard AFB, 1983. It was a static display so we could learn how to conduct maintenance on Aircraft,she looked so majestic, shiny,with a badass design. Thanks for your service FlyBoy, wingnut, haha. Oh, the memories, from so long ago!

What a great aircraft! It was my favorite jet as a kid growing up. I was a rookie USAF jet engine mechanic in 1980, stationed at Langley AFB. I was fortunate to see Canadian F-101's come in there a few times, and...especially fortunate enough to watch a pair during take-off. The boom of the single stage AB lighting off was impressive!

I really love this design! That particular example is from the 123rd FIS, OANG that flew from PDX. I watched those fly daily as a kid, and it's responsible for my decision to join the AFROTC program at the Univ. of Portland. I was lucky enough to be selected for USAF UPT, and became a Herk pilot in the active duty USAF for 10 years. I've been flying for a major airline for the past 22 years. As such, the F-101B is perhaps one of my favorite all time designs.

My father flew the F 101 in the 1963 William tell competition in Tyndall AFB Florida his team took 2nd place . He shot down a unmanned drown . He loved the F 101 he had voodoo in his blood. He also flew this in Vietnam. As well as newfoundland Canada. His name was Major Lowell Bilyeu he wsd only a leutinat until he came back from Vietnam. I saw a post on here thar spoke of Sheppard AFB Texas. I had Mr tonsils removed while we were stationed there. Also lived in Enid ok for the year he was gone to Vietnam.

We had them in the Texas ANG at Ellington AFB in the late Seventies and early Eighties. Aside from us, only a New York ANG group and one in Quebec were still flying them. You could hear the twin explosions of them taking off on afterburners a long way off.

Then I transferred to the 147th at Ellington AFB and worked on them there Civ Ser wise. They also had F-102As and TF-102s. The Voodoo was not a maintenance nightmare like the HUN

Trivia. First fighter plane flown by Gabreski was the P-26; the last was an F-101. I also think it had positive-pressure breathing. Air was forced into your lungs and you had to forcefully exhale. Made your voice comms sound wonky.

He not only knew My Dad who worked civil service in shipping and receiving at that base, My Dad also had to go to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in 1970 to learn how to pack and ship off that base all the Nuclear War Heads from the Air Force closing the Nike Base’s in Niagara & Erie Counties in 1970

I was also working in Osha Dormitory January 1980 at Niagara University when an F-101 Voodoo Fighter Jet crashed behind Tam Ceramics on Hyde Park Blvd where both Pilot & Navigator both stayed with the Jet 🛩 so it wouldn’t crash 💥 in a populated area (lots of Home’s and Factories and one jet engine tumbled into the Tennis Court at Niagara University but the Kids were away for Christmas 🎄 Vacation. While I was in the Dormitory I heard two big explosions and shook the building so much some of the mortar fell out and you could see daylight between the cement blocks. Then in 1985 I was riding in a friends ford pickup truck on Military Road in Niagara Falls as I watched two Blue Angel’s crash 💥 mid air one pilot died when the vertical tail Decapitated him in his seat and his jet he never got out

@f-15qacoffee59 5 жыл бұрын
Yes, but they did carry genies, they would sent the missile above a large group of enemies and then time it just right, then turn the plane and face the underside of the wings towards the explosion. The impact would blow the enemies wings with air pressure pushing down on the wings, which were made to withstand pressure from below, destroying the wings and having all the planes drop out of the sky.

​@@tazman572according to Wikipedia, their CF-101 webpage, a Canadian CF-101 did a test firing of a AIM2 Genie. I'm very much doubting it had a nuclear warhead. Particularly, as the United States Forces would have kept any under "lock-and-key" if ever on Canadian soil. Given that Canada's Bomarc nuclear tipped aerial ground defense missiles were equipped with sandbags as warheads, I find the video of a RCAF pilot mentioning nuclear weapons in the weapon bay of any CF-101s extremely odd.

If I understand correctly, we're looking at a somewhat pilot proof aircraft that won't allow you to stall it. The gentleman, apparently, also had someone in the rear seat that liked falling off of things. (Hide your ladders.) Now imagine the stories for Veteran's Tales you could get if he and Tad Foran met up over a couple of beers.

Not stall proof, no aircraft is. The Voodoo had the MB-5 limiter sys in it which incorporated a shaker. In ref to my first statement, at Niagara ANG one of our pilots got into a "pitch up" did the pop on the drag chute, release, fall like flying arrow, snap roll recovery and then went into another pitch up. I heard the WSO said I'm outta here at around 10000 or 14000 ft and cleared at 8000. The pilot a technician civil service ejected too late. The WSO didn't believe the ejection procedure to leave your feet on the canted floor panel and folded his lower legs as close to the seat as possible prior to egressing. There were NO stirrups on the seat for feet like other escape systems. The sudden firing of the catapult broke both of Yogi's legs above the knee. Luckey he landed in Lake Ontario.

These planes had an engineering issue during early dev stages,it had a pitch up problem that would result in a nose up flat spin at low and high G's,at a certain AoA..it would go rodeo. The engineers went back to work and mostly solved those but it was a plane that had to be flown by the book. You really couldnt take it out of its envelope or you'd likely pay for it. Beautiful bird.
