Couple of RF-101 Voodoo Questions...
I have a couple of questions about the RF-101C that I'd appreciate
comments on. Most questions refer to photos or drawings from the
Squadron publication, 'Modern Military AIrcraft: Voodoo' by Lou Drendel
and Paul Stevens (1985).
1. Camo Schemes: Does anyone have any good references, especially three
view drawings or photos that depict the experimental camo scheme
patterns carried by several RF-101's at Shaw AFB as well as early
during the war in SEA?
I'm refering to the schemes other than the 'Standard' SEA scheme, such
as those featuring a black & dark green pattern with a LARGE stars &
bars on the fuselage , and even a 'Tiger Stripe' green & black scheme.
I am referencing pages 20, 28 & 30 in the above reference.
2. Photo Flash Pod: Can anyone comment on the use of the flash
cartridge ejector pod carried on the centerline station of the 'Toy
Tiger' RF-101's? A small photo is featured on page 30 of the above
reference. Specifically:
- what, if any, designation this pod carried.
- any references to further drawings, references on dimensions or
photos of this item.
-comment on how often or what time period this item was carried.
3. ECM Pod carriage: Can anyone comment on the carriage of ECM pods on
the wing stations (?) of RF-101C's. I'm refering to page 39 of the same
reference, depicting an aircraft at Phu Cat AB
Specifically:
- what time period or operations were the pods carried?
- can anyone comment on the specific pod carried in this photo, or in
general what pods were carried by the Voodoo.
- can anyone reference any additional photos or drawings of the wing
pylon used to carry the ECM pod/ Also, what else could be carried on
the wing stations of RF-101's?
As always, I'd appreciate anyone's comments, photos, drawings,
suggested references to periodicals, books or websites, and of coarse
any assistance you feel might be helpful.
Thanks.
MM
