The McDonnell F-101 Voodoo (nicknamed One-oh-Wonder") first flew in September 1954 with the first production F-101A making its first operational flight in May 1957. In September 1957 the F-101C became operational followed by the F-101B in January 1959. When production ended 807 Voodoos had been created, 480 of them were the two-seat all-weather interceptor F-101Bs. The RF-101 reconnaissance version was the world’s first supersonic photo-recon aircraft. The only major foreign operator of the Voodoo was the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) that acquired 56 CF-101B and 10 CF-101F.
The Air National Guard received the first of their McDonnell F-101Bs in November 1969. The New York ANG 136rd Fighter Interceptor Squadron of the 107th Fighter Interceptor Group didn’t receive the F-101B until 1971 and flew them until 1982 when they were replaced by the F-4 Phantom II. Formed as Fighter Squadron in 1946 the 136th became a FIS in 1971 and in 1980 became a TFS. From its creation in 1946 the 136rd always flew fighters but in 1994 they were given a new role of aerial refueling.
