That's actually 101054 doctored to look like 101067 since the real '067 was leased from the USAF and had to go back when 414 sdn. was finished with it. The original 101067 is at the Minnesota ANG Historical Museum and has been re-painted in US colors.

[quote="One-0-Wonder"]One-O-Wonder:

Hi Martin,

The photo's were taken circa 1987/88 and it was removed about a year later and taken back to the base in Ottawa. It was about a year and a half later when I had heard a rumour that it was at a paintball range east of the city and actually managed to locate it by air around 1993. This all correlates to the time it was SOS with the military. I really have my doubts that this machine went to Tyndall after the paintball range. Why would anyone go to the trouble of transporting such a wrecked example of a Voodoo such a distance when there are so many others in the US in much better condition? Food for thought. I still believe that someone, somewhere has misidentified a serial number which has led to this confusion. Verifying that the example in Tyndall is/was an F model would help this along a little as 024 was definitely an F model.


The second picture I posted is of 047 in Uxbridge as of a month ago, so you can strike that one off of your "to do" list.[/quote]

A friend of mine found the following photo on airliners.net: http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Ai ... 1348690/L/

showing Voodoo 57-0332 at Tyndall AFB -- in February 1985.

He also pointed out that the aircraft was lacking the IR tracker on the nose (present in Canadian "second batch" aircraft), meaning that the aircraft at Tyndall most likely isn't an ex-Canadian Voodoo.

Based on this information, it would appear that the aircraft at Tyndall was painted as 57-0332, but was not actually 57-0332/101024. Your account of 101024's fate appears to be the correct one.


Regarding the aircraft in Uxbridge, Ontario -- Some further questions:

101047 -- Is only the cockpit left?

101033 -- Is only the fuselage present? Was that photo taken at the same time as the photo of 101047?

My list also identifies the cockpit of 101012 as being at Uxbridge. I'm wondering if the info I have stating that the cockpit of 101012 and the fuselage of 101047 are at Uxbridge is incorrect, and should actually say that the Uxbridge location has the cockpit of 101047 and the fuselage of 101033. Any thoughts?

Martin

I was informed that the aircraft that was formerly at Tyndall AFB marked as 57-332 now belongs to the Evergreen Air Museum.

I checked with them, and the Curator informed me that although the aircraft is marked 57-332, it is actually 58-0332.

This confirms that One-o-Wonder is correct with his history of the fate of Voodoo 101024/57-332, and my list has been in error. I will ensure that the pending revision includes this change.

That's one more Voodoo accounted for -- Sadly, one less survivor. And a long standing mystery cleared up. Thanks to all that helped sort it out.

Any updates on the other aircraft listed above would still be appreciated.

Martin

The only thing left of 047 is the section of forward fuselage. Here's a photo of the rear cockpit panel and if you look at the lower left hand section near the cutout for an instrument, you can make out the Dyno Tape label with" Radio Call Sign 101047"
Image

Next we have a photo of the tail section of 033. There are also a set of wings but don't think they're from 033 given the damage it sustained in it's landing accident.

Image


Here's a photo (please for give the quality) of the data plate in the cockpit of 033. If you cross reference the serial of 57-360, it is in fact 033.
Image


These are the only 2 Voodoo's at Uxbridge, so I'm not sure where 012 fits into the picture. Next time I'm out there, I'll check on the wing set to see if perhaps they came from 012, but there definitely isn't a third fuselage.

Here's my input:

17471 On display at Pate Museum of Transportation, Cresson, Texas as 17471 (July 2009). Reported to now be at Historic Aviation Memorial Museum in Tyler, Texas (April 2011)
>> Correct, arrived there 10 April 2011.

17483 On display at May ANGB, Reno, Nevada as RF-101B 59-0483 (July 2009). Last F-101 built. Only surviving RF-101B.
>> Current Oct11.

101056 On display at 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta as 101056 (May 2008).
>> Last re0prt May10.

Could I please get confirmation that there are still 4 Voodoos dumped on the southside next to the ATC radar dome:

101014
101048
101050
101059

Regards,
Andy Marden

Andy:

In a photo taken in June 2011, all four Voodoos are visible. 101014 can be distinguished by its custom paint scheme, and the serial on 101048 is visible. The other two are presumably 101050 and 101059, as they are still in the same position that they were several years ago, but the serials are not visible.

050 and 059 are the other two airframes on site. You can see their serial numbers now that the paint has faded.

Hi all, Martin is helping me update the F-101 registry. Several of the pictures in this thread would be useful for the registry. If you posted a picture here, could you let me know if it's okay to use in the registry? And if it is, let me know how the credit should read. Thanks.

I recall seeing a Voodoo parked on display at Grand Bend Airport(Ont) and
another one parked at Lindsay Airport (Ont)
Both I was told were permanant display aircraft.
Are they still there ?
