Known in the wide blue yonder as the "One-O-Wonder," the McDonnell F-101B Voodoo soared through the skies during an era where speed and altitude records were there to be broken, embodying the audacity and prowess of Cold War aviation. This interceptor was tasked with the monumental duty of shielding North American skies, standing on alert, ever-ready to fend off potential intruders.

Voodoo came to life in various avatars, each etching its own saga in the annals of aviation history. The F-101A was tailored for tactical fighter-bomber missions, whereas the F-101C was attuned for weather interception. Notably, the RF-101 was a reconnaissance variant, its eyes focused far beyond enemy lines, capturing critical intelligence at phenomenal speeds.

Boasting a thunderous speed of Mach 1.72 and a combat ceiling of 54,800 feet, the F-101B Voodoo was armed with a radar-guided AIM-4 Falcon missiles and an AIR-2 Genie nuclear rocket, encapsulating a deadly array of armament, ready to unleash its might when the hour demanded.
