Historical Information

The McDonnell RF-101A Voodoo was the first reconnaissance variant of the F-101 Voodoo fighter—a pioneering aircraft that entered service with the US Air Force in the mid-1950s. Designed as a fast aircraft for photographic reconnaissance, it was widely used during numerous Cold War crises, including the Cuban Missile Crisis and monitoring the borders of Eastern Bloc countries.
