F-101 Voodoo
The F-101 Voodoo was ordered by the Strategic Air Command in 1951 as a long-range, all-weather fighter interceptor and protective escort for the B-36. The F-101 carried nuclear air-to-air missiles and conventional bombs. The reconnaisance version of the F-101 was the aircraft that provided many of the photos during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The B model was a two-seat all-weather interceptor but carried no internal cannon. Instead, a rotary missile bay for three Falcon air-to-air missiles was substituted.
