| Guy E. Franklin Deatsville, AL | In October 1953 the USAF requested that two F-101As be built as prototype YRF-101A tactical reconnaissance aircraft. These were followed by 35 RF-101A production aircraft. The RF-101A shared the airframe of the F-101A including its 6.33 g (62 m/sē) limit but replaced the radar and cannons with up to six cameras in the reshaped nose. It was unusual in having provision for both flying boom and probe-and-drogue in-flight refueling. RF-101A entered service in May 1957, replacing the RB-57 Canberra. 01/08/2007 @ 09:58 [ref: 15132] |
| Sam Sitler Houston, TX | I had the great pleasure of working on this great airplane during the development by McDonnel Aircraft in St. Louis. I was an instrumentation engineer in the flight department. I retirec from McDonnell Douglas in 1993. One of the best photo plane built. 08/27/2006 @ 15:20 [ref: 14005] |
