Background:
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 McDonnell had built 785
Voodoos, 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 No. 409 Squadron was formed at RAF Digby in 1941. The unit was disbanded
after WWII but re-established in 1954 at RCAF Comox British Columbia, providing
air defence for NORAD’s west coast. Originally equipped with the CF-100 the new
CF-101 arrived in 1962. Canada originally received 56 CF-101B’s with serials
that began with 17. In 1970 and 1971 46 voodoos were traded for 56 modernized
F-101Bs and 10 F-101Fs. The latest aircraft were assigned serials beginning
with 10. Serial 101060 originally was 57-0433.
