Description

Hobby Master 1:72 Air Power Series Die-cast Model

McDonnell RF-101C Voodoo – 60165, 363rd TRW, USAF, "Operation Sun Run", November 27, 1957

1:72 Scale.  Length: 11.25".  Wingspan: 6.6"



Limited production of approximately 1300 models worldwide

On November 27, 1957 six RF-101Cs were prepped to be part of “Operation Sun Run”. Only four aircraft would actually fly with the other two as backups. The object of the operation would be to have two aircraft fly Los Angeles to New York, while the other two would fly round trip Los Angeles – New York – Los Angeles and hopefully set speed records. Los Angeles to New York took 3 hours, 7 minutes, 43.63 seconds. The round trip was completed in 6 hours, 46 minutes and 36.21 seconds.

The McDonnell F-101 Voodoo made its first flight in September of 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 McDonnell had built 785 Voodoos, 480 of them were the two-seat all-weather interceptor F-101Bs. The RF-101 was the world’s first supersonic photo-reconnaissance aircraft. The only major foreign operator of the Voodoo was the Royal Canadian Air Force that acquired 56 CF-101B and 10 CF-101F
