CF-101F 101022 (AF/SN 57-0322) is pictured in front of the Museums restoration hangar shortly after being removed from display.  

Since arriving to McChord in 1984, CF-101F 101022 has been an important symbol of the cooperation between the United States and Canada for the Air Defense of North America. Years of sun, rain, and wind has taken their toll on the finish of the proud Interceptor. During the last weeks of March the McChord Museum took the first steps in a restoration process that will return the Voodoo to its previous glory.

Members of the 62d Maintenance Squadron removed the Voodoo from its landing gear stands using aircraft airbags to lift the VooDoo, and gently set the aircraft on the ground. A week later the sight of the CF-101 "stopped traffic" as she was towed down the streets of McChord and placed in front of the Museums restoration Hangar awaiting the completion of the F-102A Delta Dagger, scheduled for late April early May.
