The McDonnell F-101 Voodoo is a supersonic jet fighter which served the United States Air Force (USAF) and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). Initially designed by McDonnell Aircraft Corporation as a long-range bomber escort (known as a penetration fighter) for the USAF's Strategic Air Command (SAC), the Voodoo was instead developed as a nuclear-armed fighter-bomber for the USAF's Tactical Air Command (TAC), and as a photo reconnaissance aircraft based on the same airframe. An F-101A set a number of world speed records for jet-powered aircraft, including fastest airspeed, attaining 1,207.6 miles (1,943.4 km) per hour on 12 December 1957. They operated in the reconnaissance role until 1979.
Delays in the 1954 interceptor project led to demands for an interim interceptor aircraft design, a role that was eventually won by the B model of the Voodoo. This required extensive modifications to add a large radar to the nose of the aircraft, a second crew member to operate it, and a new weapons bay using a rotating door that kept its four AIM-4 Falcon missiles or two AIR-2 Genie rockets hidden within the airframe until it was time to be fired. The F-101B entered service with USAF Air Defense Command in 1959 and the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1961. US examples were handed off to the USAF Air National Guard where they served until 1982. Canadian examples remained in service until 1984.

@EngineerOtaku I'm stuck with the only games of thirdwire like the mobile SF and a copy of some SF game (i think sf1) from a shady site where you can download classic games before 2013 for free
@Ruskiwaffle1991 Have fun with the game when you do get it. :)
@EngineerOtaku I think it's 400 bucks? But hopefully I can get it to run on windows 10 if possible.
@EngineerOtaku i can't afford that with my quarantine budget and I'm not the family treasurer either.
@EngineerOtaku in philippine pesos or usd?
@Ruskiwaffle1991 the base game and the expansions (vietnam, israel, etc.) Are...40 bucks each? That's by themselves. The DLC is usually less than 10 bucks depending.
The bundle of everything is 100 bucks if I recall. You can look on Thirdwire's website for everything
@EngineerOtaku Oh well. But does the base game cost money?
@Ruskiwaffle1991 Honestly? I'm on potato laptop without even a GPU and SF2 runs great. I'd recommend getting the money together for the complete bundle; has SF2 and all its expansion games and DLC. worth it. Also check out the website CombatAce for SF2 mods if ya get bored of the vanilla titles.
@EngineerOtaku I'm getting SF2 and no one will stop me except probably money or specs. I need it.
Very nice Woodoo . Great job and nice decoration .
Are you able to make a f-104 I never saw anyone do and can’t really make a good working one myself
Hey I recognize where that second screenshot image is from! That's Strike Fighters 2; it's an old series of flight sim-lite games that covered air combat in the Cold War era, roughly mid 50's to early 80's. There was an early Strike Fighters 1/Wings Over series too from the same developers.
.
The F-101 isn't in base game, but there are mods to add it in as a flyable aircraft - including a "what-if" mod of the Voodoo in its original escort fighter role.
