Description: Hobby Master 1:72 Air Power Series HA3717 McDonnell F-101B Voodoo Diecast Model USAF 119th FG Happy Hooligans ND ANG, #58-0291, Fargo ANGB, ND, 1975Limited Edition 1:72 Scale Length WidthMcDonnell F-101B Voodoo 11.25" 6.75" Possibly no other Air National Guard has a nickname as well known as the "Happy Hooligans." In the mid 1950's, The North Dakota Air National Guard's 178th Fighter Squadron commander, Brig. Gen. Duane S. Larson, was known as "Pappy" to his entire squadron. His men were dubbed "Hooligans" for their mischievous antics. Locally, they became known as "Pappy and his Hooligans." Because of his striking resemblance to the Steve Canyon comic strip character, "Happy Easter," it wasn't long before everyone around the base was using the nickname "Happy Hooligans" to describe the squadron. The squadron began flying the F-101B Voodoo interceptor in 1969 and won its first William Tell International Weapons Competition the following year at Tyndall AFB, FL. It continued to fly the Voodoo until 1977 when it upgraded to the F-4D Phantom II. McDonnell F-101B Voodoo Designed to meed a USAAF requirement for a long-range turbojet powered fighter, the F-101 was first flown (as the XF-88 prototype) on October 20th, 1948. Its initial mission as bomber escort was modified during development to include that of all-weather interceptor, nuclear fighter-bomber and photo reconnaissance aircraft. Reconnaissance variants saw extensive use during the Vietnam war while interceptors remained in service with several Air National Guard units until 1982. Ultimately, the Voodoo's carreer was rather short-lived although it did help pave the way towards the highly successful F-4 Phantom II that replaced it. Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc. Hobby Master's 1:72 scale F-101 Voodoo is a large model in this scale and is constructed from diecast metal with plastic components used for replication of fine scale details such as the model's nose and engine exhausts. The short stubby solid metal wings are cleverly fitted to the fuselage with almost no visible seams and feature razor thin aerodynamic wing fences and crisp panel lines. The hinged canopy opens near vertical for easy placement of crew figures and viewing the highly detailed pad-printed front and rear instrument panels. The series covers fighter variants with a rotating weapons pallete under the forward fuselage and reconnaissance variants with transparent camera windows in the nose.
