Part 7 of our Airshow the Voodoo F-101

Continuing on my quest to replicate the ULTIMATE military jet airshow (not just search youtube to excess) while sequestration continues, Today we jump into the way back machine for a few minutes. Watch this video on the F-101 Voodoo for some great history!

Then watch a couple CF-101's from Canada shortly before they were retired forever from flight in a great 1984 home video from the Niagara Air Show.The F-101 was a high speed long range interceptor dating back to the late 1950's and produced by the McDonnell corporation. Retired by the USAF in 1972 it continued to be used by the Air National Guard until 1982. It was also flown by Canada and served until 1984 up north... It was ultimately replaced by the F-4 Phantom by the USAF and The CF-18 in Canada. Want to see one today? Many air bases use them out front on a pedestal or some made it to museums. Oddly enough if you want to see a pair preserved on film check out the 1966 film Russians are Coming, The Russians are Comingbelow.
