Here is me in 1977 my fini flight in the RF-101C Voodoo at me Air National Guard Unit

That plane took 2 states to turn around in !

 

 

 

Clyde,Took off one morning out of Glasgow Montana with 2 bags full and my left oil pressure gauge went to 0.  Shut #1 down and came around for a "precautionary landing"  As you know, I had to land no flap as one engine wouldn't do the deal with the flaps down without AB.  So, adding 15 knots for no flap plus 20 knots for the fuel I came up with 220!  Added 5 knots for the wife and kids (although I was a bachelor) and I held 225 down the chute on final.  Even at that speed, it was a little wobbly and shaky.  I touched down at 220 right at the 1500 ft. marker and just used aerodynamic braking for a while as the max speed for the drag chute was 215!  Man, those 1000ft. markers were going by fast!  Finally got the drag chute out and started breathing again.  After that I slowed her down with no problem.  Thrilling days of yester year!!!

Flew the B model -101 at my guard unit before we got phantom4 

J-57 hard light AB

Landing speed 180kts plus fuel!

The Voodoo was the only aircraft I was afraid of.

Horrible on the boom to refuel 

I know why they called it the widow maker!

Had no compressor stalls or anything.  I was at VMAX at 35k, think that I was doing about 1.4 indicated and snapped up on the U-2 with about a 40-45 degree pitch angle.  Coming over the top inverted, I had to hold 1/2 G to keep from Pitching Up (or down).  I could see Mt Shasta and parts of LA.  It was quite dark above me.  I let the nose slowly down to a 45 degree dive angle and accelerated to 450kias before I rolled out and came out of A/B.  I was so in the moment during the whole intercept that I never thought about going above 50k without a Pressure Suit til I was back on the ground.

 

Yes we had the long A/B on the J-57 and the B model was the fastest 101 at 1.8 Mach.  It was a Pig to fly though.

 

Never heard about putting the J-79 into the Voodoo

Luke, was the B model the one that used the J-57 with the long AB?

Still, 61k in a Voodoo…. with a J-57… That thing must have been gasping for air.  

 

I know with the F-4 on the horizon, the guys at Wheelus talked about a Voodoo with J-79s… did that ever happen?

So, as much as there was some hesitation from ‘List members to take a roller-coaster-rocket-ride to space, how about a graceful float to space?:

For concours-winning Ferrari Mondial money, one can take a peaceful, hours-long ride to the edge of space.

Thing with this is, if things do go awry, you could just pull a Joe Kittinger/Felix Baumgartner and parachute safely back to earth. Win-win...
