Final production pictures of the McDonnell CF-101B Voodoo.

The only major foreign operator of the Voodoo was the Royal Canadian Air 
Force (RCAF) that acquired 56 CF-101B and 10 CF-101F. 416 Fighter Squadron 
formed in November 1941 and became the “Lynx” All-Weather Fighter Squadron 
in February 1957. 

In January 1962 416 AWFS moved to Bagotville, Quebec and in November 1962 
they moved to CFB Chatham, New Brunswick for 22 years. Former USAF Voodoo 
57-382 entered Canadian service as CF-101B c/n 560 serial 101045 in May 1971 
until September 1984. 

At the end of 1984 the Voodoos were replaced by CF-18 Hornets and the 416 
became a TFS and were the world's last front-line unit flying Voodoos.
