Assigned to 78th TFS 'The Bushmasters', 56-0001, the pioneer F-101C lifts off Bentwaters circa 1960. Known as 'Balls One' it was flown by Col. Robin Olds during his time as CO of 81st TFW and later converted to RF-101H configuration serving with the Kentucky ANG. Now guards the gate at Louisville International.

This is one of a series of Voodoo skins I'm working on; was hoping to publish some this week but computer gremlins have screwed things up.

I'm looking forward to all new skins for the Alphasim Voodoo. The old ones just aren't sharp enough!

Most excellent Dave!!

Hey, remember that blue/white Polka dots (45th TRS) paint? That's my favourite RF-101 paint you did. I hope you'll revisit the RF model too ... she's a sweet bird!

Here's an interesting forum post on the subject ... http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=33240

Is this what you're looking for DL?? 'Able Mabel' 45th TRS RF-101C out of Misawa AFB Japan?

Those are them Dave. I love that 45th - right now, it's the sole RF-101 in my hangar, I love it so much. But that SEA paint looks nice too - will definitely pick it up once it's done. You're a real artist, sir!

4 RF-101C skins just uploaded here and at Flightsim.com. WIP on several F-101C's from 81st TFW from their time at Bentwaters.
