F-101 Voodoo McDonnell

The McDonnell F-101 Voodoo was a supersonic military fighter flown by the USAF and the RCAF. Initially designed as a long-range bomber escort (known as a penetration fighter) for the Strategic Air Command, the Voodoo served in a variety of other roles, including the fighter bomber, all-weather interceptor aircraft and photo reconnaissance roles.
Reconnaissance Voodoos were instrumental during the Cuban Missile Crisis and saw extensive service during the Vietnam War.
