Born and raised in Louisville. Still live about 1/2 mile from where I grew up as a kid. About 1970 at Shewmaker + or - a few months. What a great plane. They were activated to do Aerial Recon for the USS Pubelo incident in or about 1968 rotated in and out of Japan

Funny how this one aircraft can make so many connections. Bob's dad helped build it. Mike worked on it at Shewmaker AFB. Mic-chan saw it in Japan and I watched it fly overhead in Kentucky. This model has an RG tailcode to represent the F-101 as deployed during the Pueblo crisis. I also worked as an engineering intern at McDonnell-Douglas in the fall of 1972 on the F-15 project.

Mike What H.S. did you attend? I went to DeSales class of 71.

As an intern, does this imply you also went to Parks College?

F101 Voodoo = Me.262 HJ III Wing mated with P1109/P1112 fuselage.
The engines chosen (J 56 or J59 -R's???) never really were up to the task, designers' hopes notwithstanding. Nonetheless, the F101 remains an aircraft family I find very interesting.

Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

Bob, at the time that I worked for McDonnell-Douglas I was a student at Purdue.
