Some of the F-101Bs were completed as dual-control operational trainer aircraft initially dubbed TF-101B, but later redesignated F-101F. Seventy-nine new-build F-101Fs were manufactured, and 152 more existing aircraft were later modified with dual controls.

By the time F-101 production ended in March 1961, McDonnell had built 785 Voodoos, including 480 F-101Bs, the two-seat, all-weather interceptor used by the Air Defense Command. In the reconnaissance versions, the Voodoo was the world's first …

2015年9月7日 · The F-101B (originally, F-109, a designation often mistakenly attributed to a Bell design) was the two-seat, long-range interceptor. McDonnell built 479 examples for the Air Defense Command (ADC), making this the most numerous Voodoo.

The F-101B was a two-seat all-weather interceptor. The prototype first flew March 27, 1957, and production models entered service in January 1959. By August 1960, 17 squadrons of the Air Defense Command (ADC) flew F-101Bs.

In Operation Sun Run in 1957, an RF-101 raced from Los Angeles to New York and back in a record time of 6 hours and 46 minutes.

The F-101B was originally designed as a long-range bomber escort for Strategic Air Command in 1959. However, this mission changed, once more effective bombers like the B-52 entered service.

The F-101B was a two-seat all-weather interceptor variant of the Voodoo, and was numerically the most important Voodoo variant, with a total of 479 being built. Development of an all-weather interceptor version of the Voodoo was first considered as early as the fall of 1952, but was rejected at that time as being too costly.

F-101B: Two-seat all-weather interceptor, with 479 built, not counting an "NF-101B" prototype. 231 of the F-101Bs were fitted with dual controls, and redesignated "F-101F". Canada obtained 112 F-101Bs and 20 F-101Fs from USAF stocks, designating them …

The Air Defense Command, requiring a supplement to the troubled F-102 program, turned to the two seat Interceptor version of the VooDoo, The F-101B. The F-101B first flew on March 27, 1957, almost 3 years after the F-101As maiden flight. The first F-101Bs were delivered to the 60th Interceptor Squadron at Otis AFB in Massachusetts on January 5 ...
