HISTORY ASPECTS:The F-101B Voodoo known famously as "The Happy Hooligans" served with the United States Air Force (USAF) in 1975 as an interceptor aircraft primarily tasked with defending North American airspace during the Cold War era. Although it did not directly participate in any major conflicts during its service the F-101B played a crucial role in maintaining readiness and deterrence against potential airborne threats particularly Soviet bombers and reconnaissance aircraft probing American airspace.Equipped with advanced radar and air-to-air missile systems the F-101B Voodoo was capable of high-speed intercepts and had a formidable presence in the skies. Its distinctive twin-engine design and sleek profile made it a recognizable symbol of American air power during the height of the Cold War tensions. While it did not engage in combat the F-101Bs role in safeguarding the homeland and deterring aggression contributed to the overall security and stability of the United States and its allies.This 1:72 scale mod
