In 1917 the 116th FIS was the 116th Aero Squadron. In 1945 and several designation changes the now 116th FS was allotted to the Washington ANG. February 10, 1951 the unit became the 116th FIS. After a short time in England the unit returned to the U.S. equipped with F-86As, in 1955 with the F-94 Starfire. In 1957 they were given the F-89D Scorpion and later the F-89J. In 1965 the F-102A Delta Dagger was supplied and in 1969 the F-101B Voodoo. F-101B 57-0300 was assigned to the 116th FIS from 1973-1974.

McDonnell F-101B Voodoo

Designed to meed a USAAF requirement for a long-range turbojet powered fighter, the F-101 was first flown (as the XF-88 prototype) on October 20th, 1948. Its initial mission as bomber escort was modified during development to include that of all-weather interceptor, nuclear fighter-bomber and photo reconnaissance aircraft. Reconnaissance variants saw extensive use during the Vietnam war while interceptors remained in service with several Air National Guard units until 1982. Ultimately, the Voodoo's carreer was rather short-lived although it did help pave the way towards the highly successful F-4 Phantom II that replaced it.

Hobby Master's 1:72 scale F-101 Voodoo is a large model in this scale and is constructed from diecast metal with plastic components used for replication of fine scale details such as the model's nose and engine exhausts. The short stubby solid metal wings are cleverly fitted to the fuselage with almost no visible seams and feature razor thin aerodynamic wing fences and crisp panel lines. The hinged canopy opens near vertical for easy placement of crew figures and viewing the highly detailed pad-printed front and rear instrument panels. The series covers fighter variants with a rotating weapons pallete under the forward fuselage and reconnaissance variants with transparent camera windows in the nose.
