CF-101 Voodoo 101043 - Atlantic Canada Aviation Museum - Halifax, NS - Static Aircraft Displays on Waymarking.com

The CF-101 Voodoo was an all-weather interceptor aircraft operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force and Canadian Forces between 1961 and 1984. They were manufactured by the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation of St. Louis, Missouri for the United States Air Force (as F-101s), and later sold to Canada. CF-101s replaced the obsolete Avro CF-100 in the RCAF's all-weather fighter squadrons. The Voodoo's primary armament was nuclear AIR-2A Genie unguided air-to-air rockets, and there was significant political controversy in Canada about their adoption. Although they never fired a weapon in anger, the CF-101 served as Canada's primary means of air defence throughout their service life from Quick Reaction Alert facilities at Canadian airbases. The CF-101s were retired in the early 1980s and replaced with CF-18 Hornet fighters. Many examples are preserved in museums and parks in Canada and the United States.

The CF101 on display, 101043, was acquired from the USAF in 1971 (originally S/N 57-380). It saw service with 425 Sqn at BFC Bagotville QC and 416 Sqn at CFB Chatham, NV before being retired in 1984. It was ferried to Halifax in 1985 and on display after that time. It is in the paint scheme of 416 "Lynx" All Weather Fighter Squadron, its last operational unit.
