McDonnell EF-101B "Electric Voodoo," serial 101067, flew with No. 414 Electronic Warfare Squadron of the Canadian Forces at CFB North Bay, Ontario, as a one-of-a-kind electronic countermeasures aggressor. A single CF-101B was fitted with the electronic jamming suite from an EB-57B Canberra, and both the EF-101B designation and the "Electric Voodoo" nickname were unofficial. It wore an all-black scheme with the squadron's Black Knight's head on the tail, which set it apart from the squadron's other Voodoos. Leased from the United States, it was the last working Voodoo of its kind in Canada and was returned on April 7, 1987.
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. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
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.
