A bit harder, but I'll try! Most sources list this F-101B as 57-0430, but Joe Baugher's web site says this serial number was converted to an RF-101B. Perhaps the RF nose was removed, and it was given a conventional nose prior to being made into a display. Notice it does not have an IR sensor. Now you have me wondering. Mark |

If you look at the first photo of this aircraft on the previous post, you can just make out one of the AIM-4 wells under the fuselage. On the RF-101B the rotary door carried flush aerials instead. With no IRST on the nose I think that it could be one of the former RCAF "Peace Wings" birds returned to the US but not converted into an RF-101B. I'd wager that it was converted to F-101F standard instead and used as a trainer.
