I think the RCAF flying through the Canadian North and intercepting the Tupolev TU-142 Bear is at least as great an indication of the true value of the 101B Voodoo as the Sun Run. I make the point that flying across the empty north of Canada might be more challenging that flying across the densely populated United States with lots of airports in case something goes wrong.

Wow, this video is 5 years old but I JUST stumbled apon it. Brings a small tear to my eye. My grandfather was chief of maintenance for the 363rd Tactical Recon squad out of Shaw AFB. Served 22 years, retired Master Sergeant. Funny story about Fire Wall you wont hear from official sources. His team was responsible for tuning the engines for that flight to break the speed record. And him being the vocal type that he was, stated to the engineers planning the route to take, that their math was off and if they did it the way they had it, the pilot would be coming in deadstick, that means no fuel and gliding in to land. They of course told him, the maintenance man, he didnt know what he was talking about. SO they did the run, the pilot broke the speed record. And coming back in to land, he was deadstick. Gliding no fuel. He later came to my grandfather and asked him how he knew that would happen. Well yaknow, the man and his team that were responsible for tuning the engines so they would produce more thrust, thus consuming fuel at a faster rate. Yaknow...simple logic LOL.

11:22 you can see the mirror finish this streak voodoo has. I believe the F15 Streak Eagle speed run was mirror finish too. Very beautiful

To me, this is an interesting subject, but relatively poor sound, rather watery. As a baby, at Patuxent River, MD, my father's last U.S. Navy duty before he retired from the U.S.N., my mother said that I was scared of the Voodoo Jets. Sorry.
