The
McDonnell F-101B Voodoo is an all
weather, long range interceptor
developed from the F-101A. The two man
crew (1 pilot and 1 radar operator to
work the MG-13 fire control system) flew
an improved and more powerful (More
powerful engines) version of the first
F-101A Voodoo. The double cockpit
however decreased the internal fuel
capacity of the F-101B and therefore the
combat range suffered. A solution for
this problem was made by building in an
in-flight refueling system.
A total
of 407 F-101B's were built, and 153 of
those were later upgraded with an update
of the fire control system and removing
the in-flight refueling probe amongst
other modifications.
McDonnell F-101B & F Voodoo's were in
service with the United States Air Force
and the Canadian Air Force |
