Hobby Master 1/72 HA3710 McDonnell F-101B Voodoo 58-0339, Oregon ANG, 123rd FIS, 1970s

The Oregon ANG 123rd FIS/ 142nd FW was formed on July 30, 1940 as the 123rd Observation Squadron and allocated to the Oregon Air National Guard. On April 18, 1941 the unit was activated and was operational throughout WWII and the Korean War. On November 1, 1952 was released from active duty and returned to the ORANG. In 1972 the 142nd FW began to receive the F-101B Voodoo and operated them until 1981 when 58-0339 was sent to AMARC then preserved at Hill AFB, Utah for a short time before being scrapped in 1987.

The McDonnell F-101 Voodoo (nicknamed One-oh-Wonder) first flew in September 1954 with the first production F-101A making its first operational flight in May 1957. In September 1957 the F-101C became operational followed by the F-101B in January 1959. When production ended 807 Voodoos had been created, 480 of them were the two-seat all- weather interceptor F-101Bs. The RF-101 reconnaissance version was the world's first supersonic photo-recon aircraft. The only major foreign operator of the Voodoo was the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) that acquired 56 CF-101B and 10 CF-101F.
