As some of you will recall, I maintain a list of preserved Canadian (or ex-Canadian) F-101 Voodoo aircraft here: http://www.coastcomp.com/av/pres/Preser ... sion_3.htm

This list was last revised two years ago, and I'm in the process of updating it.

I have updates for more than half of the preserved population, but I'm still looking for updated sightings for some craft. Can anyone provide updated sightings for the following:

17455 Cockpit under restoration, Bavaria, Germany (May 2005)

17471 On display at Pate Museum of Transportation, Cresson, Texas as 17471 (July 2009). Reported to now be at Historic Aviation Memorial Museum in Tyler, Texas (April 2011)

That's 101035. I have an update for it.

I've also gotten an update for 101063 since I posted that list last night.

19 more to go.

Didn't 067, the "Electric Fox", go into an ANG unit's museum in Minnesota?

I can confirm the CWH (045), NAFMC (040) and CASM (Rockcliffe--025) Voodoos still on show, have seen them recently, no recent change re any of them. Trenton's is outdoors in the Airpark, CASM/CAvM's is indoors and so, usually, is CWH's (which is on loan from either DND or CASM).

Is anything planned preservation wise re 014 "Lark One"? Didn't know that one had survived in any condition.

Hi Voodoo,

There's also CF-101 "Hawk One" located at the entrance to Canadian Forces Base Comox, on the east coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Serial 101057.

In the nearby air-park is also CF-101 #101030.

By the way this is a rather nice air-park, for people travelling to Vancouver Island via Comox. CF-100, T-33, Argus, CF-104 Starfighter and others. And the locally-run-by-volunteer museum has a tremendous library as well as some unique exhibits, including a balloon-bomb found near one of my bird study transects (long before I went there).
All photos taken in August 2008 by myself. Higher resolution versions are available.

Cheers, Andrew

Hi Voodoo,

the Voodoo 101063 indeed, is owned by the Canadian Museum of Flight of Langley, BC. It was acquired in a trade for a Hup-3 Helicopter, but the CMF has het to find the means to transport the CF-101 across the country to Langley.

Peace,

David M

Steve:

101067 is at the Minneapolis ANG museum at MSP. It has since been repainted into a stock USAF ADC paint scheme.

As of this past June, 101014 was in outside with three other derelict Voodoos at the end of one of the runways at Bagotville. It's still painted as "Alouette Un Canada/Lark One Canada".

Thomas, Andrew, David -- thanks for your updates.

Well, now it's time for some sad pictures. I'm going to try to clear up the issue as to what actually happened to 024. It never, ever went to Florida. I suspect at some point, a serial number has been miscopied and has led to the confusion. 024 was flown into Ottawa, eviscerated, and then given the airframe instructional number of 826B. It was then taken to a field southwest of Ottawa where it was used by 450 Sqn, flying Chinooks at the time, for heavy lift practice.

Once the locals found it, they shot it to pieces (why do people like shooting airplanes?). I eventually made my way out to it and took what was left of the instrument panel (and it is an F model panel)and a few other items from the cockpit, and upon a few items was written in grease pencil, 024. This would have been done by maintenance personel to identify the component to the aircraft during maintenance, which was a common practice. The photo below shows it in the field and you can see the instructional airframe number of 826B on it. The aircraft was later taken back to the base after a light aircraft crashed beside it while circling to have a look at it, and it was then sold and taken to a paintball range east of the city where it eventually disappeared. There's the story of 024.

Here we have the remains of the cockpit section of 047 in Uxbridge. The photo was taken by me a few months ago.

Image

And finally, the mortal remains of 033 also at Uxbridge. The aircraft suffered an accident and was taken off strength. The tail section with 033 is at another spot on the property, so I looked at the data plate in the cockpit and it's stamped 57-360, which also corresponds to 033.

One-O-Wonder:

Do you know approximately when the photos of 101024 were taken? According to my sources, the aircraft wasn't struck off strength until 1991, and went to Tyndall after this. I'm wondering if your pictures were taken before it went to Tyndall?

Hi Martin,

The photo's were taken circa 1987/88 and it was removed about a year later and taken back to the base in Ottawa. It was about a year and a half later when I had heard a rumour that it was at a paintball range east of the city and actually managed to locate it by air around 1993. This all correlates to the time it was SOS with the military. I really have my doubts that this machine went to Tyndall after the paintball range. Why would anyone go to the trouble of transporting such a wrecked example of a Voodoo such a distance when there are so many others in the US in much better condition? Food for thought. I still believe that someone, somewhere has misidentified a serial number which has led to this confusion. Verifying that the example in Tyndall is/was an F model would help this along a little as 024 was definitely an F model.


The second picture I posted is of 047 in Uxbridge as of a month ago, so you can strike that one off of your "to do" list.
