After World War II, the United States Air Force began developing a new long-range penetration fighter capable of escorting missions. The P-51 Mustang, the iconic American fighter-bomber that escorted hundreds of B-17 Flying Fortresses all over Europe and the Pacific to bomb German and Japanese strongholds, now belonged to a glorious past.
The XF-88 project was born to build a replacement for the P-51 Mustang. As the Cold War loomed on the horizon, the era of jet-powered planes became the future of aerial combat. The XF-88 went under extensive modifications to fulfill the requirements the USAF specified for it. Besides its primary role as an escort, the new plane had to be extremely fast and capable of handling itself in aerial combat. During development, it incorporated afterburning engines and a nose-mounted Allison XT38 experimental turboprop. However, budget shortages and a sudden loss of interest for high-speed propellers led to its cancellation. The prototype never saw mass production.
Nonetheless, once the Korean War ended, the XF-88 came back to life with the F-101 Voodoo, an enlarged version of the aircraft that met newer Air Force requirements based on lessons learned during the war. Both the experimental XF-88 and the production F-101 pushed the limits for aircraft that could break the Mach 1.0 barrier...

I love how the narrator tries for a super dramatic tone while at the same time talking as fast as humanly possible. It's like there's a murderer coming up the stairs but he really wants to finish the audio recording before he gets killed.
This is hilarious. I searched the comments to see how many others felt the voice was too fast.
its just his recording sped up. Hence the awkwardly quick breaks in his speech
Put it on 0.75 speed and he talks normal lol
I have no problem understanding him.

@Zane = Looks like they were testing the design to see if it could straighten out by itself , hence the wind tunnel >.>
Its said to be a nice trick.
My dad was a Chief in Voodoo's in 1962 as we lived in France they were recon. Loan AFB France, He lived to 97, rest in piece dad, thank you
I was an armorer at Spangdahlem in Germany. In September, 1963, one of the F-105Ds from Spang made an emergency landing at Laon with an engine failure. I was one of the people sent to assist in the engine change, driving a truck with equipment through Belgium to Laon. While there, I watched an engine change being accomplished on not only the F-105, but also one of the engines on a F-101B. That engine was almost destroyed because, as I understand the event, a malfunctioning bomb rack of some kind was sent exploding into the engine inlet duct, practically ripping the engine from its mounts as it abruptly stoped rotating. Pilot was lucky to have a second engine still operating. Respect to your dad, and fond memories of the night life in Laon.
My dad was a Pilot in the 2nd Fighter Weapons Squadron when they retired the last American Voodoos from active service. He had over 1300 flight hours in the Voodoo and got the keep the flight stick after his aircraft’s final flight.
Edit: I miss quoted the flight times, I asked my dad and he said 1300 hours in the voodoo not 4300. He has 4300 flight hours over his entire career.
Cool, I attended the last VooDoo training class at Tyndall back in 1981 (2nd Ftr. Sq.) I believe I am the last 2nd Lt. to fly the jet, graduating out of UPT. There was two of us in that last class.
Very cool, your Dad played a part in aviation history! You should be pretty proud.
Gromcommando: That's a HELL of a lot of time in once type of aircraft - ESPECIALLY in a fighter!!
Many USAF pilots today will retire with much less than that, career total flight time. My hat's off to your Dad!
Yeah. That's just simply AMAZING

I agree!👍😁
This was my first monogram kit, bought by my mom back in 1977, when I was a kid. I didn't know much about these American jets at that age. But loved the sleek look this model had. I was 7 years old at the time. Mom followed up the next Christmas with the F4 Phantom and then the B1 Lancer, other than Lego sets.... great memories. Love your channel. More history of USAF... Thanks. Nico from Trinidad and Tobago.
I built mine in 1958. I spent time with General Someone (don't remember his name) who was in charge of airports in Trinidad and Tobago, but that was in the 1970s.
The Voodoo is one of the coolest and nicest looking aircraft of all time.
The F-101 was not used in Vietnam for bombing missions, the only variant to see service there was the RF-101C for strategic reconnaissance.
You're right, except that the "One-Oh-Wonder" flew low level tactical recon missions, not strategic recon.
@rogerwilco99 thud, the sound it made when it hit the ground.
I was war hero Ace pilot in the Nam War and I flew these airplanes. They often poopied when they should have peed but otherwise were okay.
Not to mention the F-101 was then the design base for the F-4 Phantom. That’s soma legacy.
You'd think that this would have taught them not to build the thunderscreech

Is it just me or is the narration speed absolutely fine? Didnt struggle at all but almost every comment is about how it's too fast 🤷♂️
I quite enjoy the quick narration, he gets everything across and saves time
That's because we have a better reading and language comprehension.

i'm not a native english speaker and i can keep up with him, the people who say he narrates too fast just need to pay more attention
6:47 slight nitpick, the YF-93 was developed from the F-86 not into it, it was originally designated the F-86C.
Yah, it also jumped to my attention.
Not a nitpick, that definitely was an error. The -93 was a bloated -86 carrying much more fuel for the escort mission. Not a good design.
Go forward, Nato! Long live freedom! Long live America! Down with all dictatorships and terrorists all around the world! Nato has the best weapon systems the world has ever seen!

The narration is strikingly similar to the Wikipedia page on the this plane.
he knows too much
Because he wrote the wiki article on it smh 🤦♂️
@Lind Taylor You hear that whooshing sound? That’s the sound of the joke going over your head
@Lind Taylor saying that I was the one who didn’t get the original joke is total bs and you are the one who didn’t get my joke.
@Lind Taylor yes I did make a joke. The joke was that he “wrote” the wiki article on it. Woooosh indeed.
If I don’t hear this dude’s voice now when I start watching a documentary on airplanes I just move on. Keep up the good work!
Then you're massively missing out. From civilian planes covered by Wendover, to military planes covered by Millenium*7 & Atomic Cafe, there are lots of other documentaries that are as good if not better.
I was one of the test pilots for this aircraft.
In one of my most memorable dreams.
They had us in the first half not gonna lie
Lol
True clickbait
Wait until you see my new video "The amazing life of the one known only as Clickbait" coming to you soon exclusively on the official Clickbait TH-cam channel.
For a lot of is, we know basically the iconic planes through aviation history which went into at least some amount of production. But the stories behind the development and inevitable failures of others is equally fascinating. Thank you for your deep dives into these back stories and for making them so interesting and human....
As a young boy reading popular mechanics I remember an article about this voodoo jet with a propeller on it. Thank you for the great story.
First aircraft to reach mach 1 with propellers... That is so awesome...
I have to edit this after someone pointed out that they were not in use. The jet engine broke the sound barrier. Still cool...
Not really. In WW2 pilots in deep dives could break the sound barrier. Sometimes the planes would fall apart too.
@@waterzap99 I don’t think it counts unless you don’t explode 🙄
@@waterzap99 WW2 aircraft were never built for supersonic speeds, the aircraft of the 50s designed for it had different stabilizers and were built more stable.
The “VooDoo” is such a cool name for a plane.
I think it would be cool for the Haitian Air Force, US not so much.
You can see the future F-4 Phantom in this plane.
No it’s not
The transitional plants are always the most interesting.
The first war bi planes, the first mono wings, the first jets, first super sonics, and first stealth.
The xf88 and f101 starfighters, f117 /b1, etc, they're gorgeous.
It's hard to imagine that these xf88s were JUST 5 years after p51s hit full development. They're completely different
There's an F-101 Voodoo on static display not too far from where I live. Even after all these decades later the Voodoo is an impressive plane.
Do you live in Minnesota?
@@Bad-Idea-Network Canada
@@abrahkadabra9501 Ah we have one here in Proctor MN
Another great video. As a child of the 60's the F-101 Voodoo was my favorite jet aircraft.
THIS was the
XF-88, NOT the
F-101.!!!!!
One of my favorite planes to build a model of in the 1960s.
Also, ISD in the cloud at 12:24
What is an ISD? I do see a weird formation or shadow in the cloud.
Anyone else have to play this back at 3/4 speed to not miss things? That said, I love your stuff, keep it up!
Totally unrelated but I love the Mass Effect style synth background music used in these vids. Sounds futuristic.
New to Dark Skies and this video is so interesting. As a young guy in the late 50’s and through the 60’s jet fighters were my passion and interest. So thanks for for rekindling my interest! 👍🏻👍🏻
I was a USAF weather forecaster/pilot briefer in AR 1976-1979. The base was home to B-52s and KC-135s. I forgot which year, but one day a transient pilot arrived for refueling and a weather brief. He was flying an Air National Guard RF-101 Voodoo, from an airbase in Louisiana. Had to be one of the last flying ones. I just looked it up, the Guard retired them in 1982.
I asked him what he was doing flying around here, and he said something like “I may not know where I am but I’ve never lost.”
It was the only F101 I ever briefed.
I made a scale model of one in the late 60s and here I was briefing one of them.
After reading the Voodoo’s entry in Wikipedia appears he was flying the Interceptor version, because the Recon versions in the ANG were retired in 1972. Could have sworn he told me his was an RF.
In the late 1970s, I was a USAF avionics tech on the F-101B Voodoo at Tyndall AFB, Fl. It acted as target, target tug and other duties supporting the F-106 interceptor training program. Good airplane but a bit of a maintenance nightmare.
My dad worked on these in the late 1960s. His DD-214 lists instrumentation technician.
Amazing how you find copies of the original film footage of the aircraft you discuss. Some of these aircraft go back over 75 years. Well done.
Canada bought 66 CF 101 Voodoos and in 1972 at the Vanderhoof BC AirShow I got to sit in one as a 6 year old. A treat I cherish to this day
haha, I got to sit in an USAF Voodoo at an airshow in 1962. I was 7.
The Canadian Forces used the CF 101Voodoo,132 of them, successfully from 1968 to 1988.
Arrows and Canucks out, Bomarcs and Voodoos in. I think the RCAF started using CF 101s in 1961.
@@dashcroft1892: there’s a VooDoo on display in Edmonton.
Once in the 80s while I was working either at Eglin or George AFB they had an F-15, F-4 and a CF-101 lined up together to beautifully illustrate the evolution of McDonnell aircraft.
I really enjoy this channel. I am 54 yrs old. Back in the 80s, I loved watching Night Flight. These programs remind me of those late nights after cruising in town and coming home to watch. They would have films of military aircraft and a narrator very similar to this man.
The F-101 did not conduct “strategic bombing” in Vietnam. The only variant to see combat was the the RF-101C reconnaissance version and over 30 were lost due to enemy actions.
In 1974 at the Abbotsford Airshow in BC Canada a couple of Voodoos did the airshow thing with one plane making a slow level pass and the other blowing by it with full afterburners, then going vertical. I, along with many spectators, watched that ascending plane blow up into a million pieces. With horrified disbelief we watched as the wreckage came crashing down and we searched the skies for parachutes. Both pilot, Capt. John Pew and navigator did manage to survive, but were severely burned. Years later my sister's friend was working for an orchardist in the Okanagan in BC just south of where we lived. Turns out the orchardist was Capt. John Pew! He quit the air force after the incident and probably counted his lucky stars he was alive.
Thanks I remember making a model of the F-101 Voodoo when I was a kid back in the mid to late 1950's. I was my favorite plane at the time.
'Supersonic Propeller Jet with Afterburners' could be a good album title
At least it wasn't like the XF-84 thunderscreech.
this aircraft is the definition of a resilient program
the fact that his channel is named as Dark skies and the fast voice kinda makes me think he is leaking secrets XD
He spilling the FBI’s greatest secrets on patreon
I have a hard time understanding him sometimes. His pronunciation is pretty sloppy.
Think he could slow down a liiiiitle bit...
He was the only shit thing about this video.
Supersonic Propeller Jet with Afterburners is the name of my 90s party-punk band
Great series. I grew up learning about so many of these planes from my dad. The F-101 was my late father's favorite plane, so much so that he bought 53-2418 in 1976 from the tech school in Amarillo.
I love the “Dark” family of channels. Think I’m subscribed to all of them. This one might be my favorite though. Me being a huge military aircraft nut. Keep it up, guys.
From 1983 to 1988 my immediate boss was a retired USAF Major, who had over 3000 hrs in F-101's, mostly RF-101 models. He flew them in Vietnam and was a test pilot at Hill AFB where a special computer was installed to limit the aircraft flight controls. He was tasked with flying every F-101 in the USAF inventory to provide consistency in the calibration of the computer in each aircraft. He also was the only pilot in the USAF who was qualified to fly the F-4 and the entire century series of aircraft, all at the same time, during his time at the contract facility in Taiwan.
The F-101 was alsp used in the "sun run" where they flew from the US east coast to the west coast at a speed to beat the sun across the continent.
I'd love to see a segment on the Douglas F4D Skyray.
and the Gutless Cutlass.
love the Skyray
My father was in the U.S.A.F in the 50’s, he and his friend almost got killed by a fighter jet tire when the jet crash landed, the tire missed them by three feet.It was dangerous times, my father said, because they were experimenting with new jets, as you can see. He saw a jet break a thick chain while they were testing the afterburner. My father was a regular airman a welder, but he still got to see very interesting stuff. My father passed away three years ago. Now that I see dark docks I wish he was here to ask him more questions about his experience in the U.S.A.F He was stationed in Denver, Colorado.
I worked for G.E. In the early 70's and my job was to repair and calibrate the fire control system on the F101 Voodoo Fighter. This plane was the main fighter jet in the RCAF, I was kept busy because these planes were over twenty years old at that time, I worked there for 3 years up in Toronto.

The VooDoo is an aircraft you don’t hear mentioned very often.
Not above the 49th, we used them from 1961 to 1984, when they were replaced by F-18s
I really dig your videos, you usually get right to the good stuff. I mean, I can watch reruns of the discovery channel but they waste a ton of time rehashing basic info...whereas you cut right to the good stuff. Also the Visual and sound effects Are good accents without getting the way of the content at all. Good work!
Great channel, I fully understand that sometimes other situations or aircraft may be shown to showcase a technical difficulty or maneuver, and I don't sweat it. The stories are presented as such, and that's just fine.
I worked at the Niagara Falls IAP in the early to mid 80's. The ANG had just replaced the F-101B's with the F-4C, but there were still Voodoos around. Canada was still flying them. It was an ear buster with full afterburner - as was its replacement.
GUYSSSS listen at 0.75 speed it makes it sound like an actual documentary SO much better 🤣
I'm amazed how good your content always is considering the sheer amount you put out, bless

Man, you're crying hard there.
6:49 Needs revision. The XF-93A (later designated as YF-93A) was derived from the F-86, an existing, operational fighter when the XF-93A first flew on 24 January 1950.
The last of the F-100s were the CF-101s of the RCAF that were flown until 1985 vat CFB Chatham, New Brunswick by 416(AW) Squadron. I was an Aero Tech Tech on the Voodoo and was called a Voodoo Medicine Man. I went through the process of having to stand near the rear of the aircraft while watching to see if the eyelids on the J57-P56 opened up when the afterburner was selected, I jump about 6 feet into the when they flicked the bic and the burner lit up. I also had to crawl into the the afterburner to replace the flameholder when the pilots melted out. It was a great plane to work on. The Blacl Electronic Voodoo that was flown by 414 Squadron is in the Minnesota Air Guard Museum still painted as 067 of the RCAF.
These are the unforgotten aircraft That didn’t make it past the drawing board
These older aircraft are truly classics from post-WW2 to Vietnam War
This is uncensored history with this narrator from airplanes to ships to bombers to submarines
This is how you learn about the forgotten history & aircraft

There have been many fighters built that fly faster than the P-51 Mustang, but NONE more Sexy.
The XF93 did not precede the F-86 Sabre. The XF-93 was developed FROM the F-86 Sabre as an attempt to meet the penetration fighter requirement. The F-86 was already in service and did not "reach production" as a result of the XF-93 prototype. It's ironic to see all the viewers praising the content of this chronically inaccurate channel.
Is there anyone else out there who doesn't believe the T-tail failed to cure a "pitch-up" problem which the airplane then continued to suffer from? (Yeah, I know he read that in Wikipedia.) Pitch up due to tip stall of swept wings was not unique to the 101, and I don't see the T-tail as the solution to that problem. A T-tail is more efficient in some ways and can be smaller, but has no special power to prevent the shift in aerodynamic center resulting from tip stall. If they thought moving it further from the wing downwash would give it more authority to control pitch during tip stall they seem have moved it the wrong way. What was somewhat unique to the 101 was the deep stall phenomenon due to turbulent air the wing blanking reducing the effectiveness of the T-tail at the deep stall angle of attack, reducing the pilot's ability to control pitch and recover. The tail was the source of that problem, not the solution. They learned and did not repeat that configuration with the F-4.
I'm pretty sure the producer of this series has a schedule to keep and a lot of ground to cover with each video. It has to be profitable AND reasonably accurate AND maintain high production standards. He covers quite a few topics with his "Dark..." series and cannot be a subject matter expert in every field. I feel sure he has noted this discrepancy, but as with other videos, the die is cast. The best is the enemy of the good, and I believe his reputation for accuracy has been earned in a field where the average viewer is lucky to place World War One in the correct century.

Good video..I didn't know such an aircraft existed. This was very interesting, for sure.
The p-51 was more of a dedicated fighter, the p-47 is more suited to fighter-bomber stuff

Back in the day, Lindberg Models, made a fairly decent 1/48 scale plastic kit of the McDonnell XF-88 VooDoo. It's been reissued numerous times over the decades and should be easy to find in on-line auctions.
Growing up, my dad was in the U.S.A.F and stationed at Wurtsmith air base in Oscoda Mi. That base had F-101 vodoo's, B-52's, and KC-135 refuelers. He would take me to go see the planes. ( ahhh when life wasn't so f***ed up.)
The Royal Canadian Airforce operated a number of these until 1984 (F101) along with the F104 Starfighter. Both were replaced with F18 Hornets. I used to love seeing them at airshows
I really like your Dark series for the last me to learn something at school was not having to deal with loud noises that my class produces

XF-88 VooDoo is the very correct name for this contraction😂😂
I keep getting this channel content commentary suggested to me.
The implied urgency of content delivery, gives an impression that I should click the pause icon, so he can make use of the bathroom.
I have tried this to no avail, its got to the point, that moving on allows that particular impression to fade from my mind.
Maybe a change of diet, more fibre, less greasy fast foods.
When talking about the 20 mm canon armament, you show someone loading the magazine of a 37mm weapon of the sort that the Airacobra/Kingcobra used! Just another example of the momentary "DUH" moments that crop up regularly in this otherwise interesting and generally well done series.

Another hybrid prop/jet was the XF-84 Thunderscreech, which could be heard 25 miles away. It was so loud that several ground crewmen were injured, a Republic engineer suffered a seizure, and the first test pilot flew it one time, then quit the project. The only other test pilot flew it 11 more times and made 10 forced landings.
For some reason, this plane never saw production either!
What an awful airplane, plain and simple.
@@malachiwhite356 We didn't know much about supersonic aircraft in the 40's, and it shows.
One odd ball that did make it into production was the "Six turning and Four Burning" B-36.
This Convair cruised at 250 mph, and with all 10 engines at military power, it could attain an emergency speed of 435 mph briefly, making it a sitting duck for Soviet jets with 4 contrails from the jet engines clearly marking it's path for all to see.

Agreed! Fascinating channel.

Why is he talking like voice over for a 1950s' 'Dragnet' episode?
This plane deserves a special trophée for the most sinister name.
for you to be presenting aircraft that I have never heard of is impressive
As a couple people have already mentioned a year or so ago, put this on .75 playback - the voice is much more natural.
Excellent new additions! Hours of the history of the great early planes. One thing, though; the Mark-7 bomb on the F-101 was a regular atomic fission bomb with a maximum load of 60 kilotons and not a thermonuclear "hydrogen" bomb.
F-101 Voodoo was one of the first aircraft models I built.
;101s were assigned to K.I.Sawyer AFB, MI. They were there 62nd Fighter Sqd. They won he William Tell contest in the mid 60s.
The Voodoo was one of those century fighters doing whatever task besides it's Cold War role as a fighter...
Ok, after six or so vids, I now understand the vastness of your experimental aircraft knowledge. Consider me subbed...
It is narrated by Athlean x, during his rest periods...😃😃😃
Few things cheer me up like listening to your vids on 1.75 speed. The pace is on par with this plane
*metal gear solid v theme plays*
Very nice stock footage!!! The F-101 was a good plane that evolved into a plane that went into very high numbers of mass-production.... The F-4 Phantom....
Id like this narrator to do a series where he orders lunch at Applebee's, Synopses for new movie releases, and the most common adverse reactions for various immunosuppressive drugs.
