EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sleek lines and imposing presence of a McDonnell RF-101C Voodoo reconnaissance aircraft, serial number 56-0130, as it sits on the tarmac at RAF Finningley in England on September 19, 1964. The RF-101C was a variant of the supersonic Voodoo fighter, adapted for the crucial role of tactical reconnaissance. The United States Air Force's 66 Tactical Reconnaissance Wing (66TRW) was one of the units that operated this advanced aircraft, which was renowned for its ability to gather intelligence over enemy territory with speed and precision. The Voodoo's distinctive intake design, with its twin inlets and swept-back wings, is clearly visible in this image, as is the distinctive shape of its fuselage and the large, rounded canopy that provided the pilot with an unobstructed view of the battlefield. The image exudes a sense of power and purpose, with the aircraft's engines idling quietly, ready for the next mission. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of military aviation during the Cold War era, and a reminder of the vital role that reconnaissance aircraft played in maintaining strategic superiority.
