On second thought, I hear what you're saying, I guess I have to take into context that were also watching the Voodoo nearing the end of its service. Believe me, no disrespect intended at all!

No disrespect was taken at all. After logging 1000+ hours in the 101, I was still impressed with it when I walked away. The book I suggested has several accounts of mission profiles which you might enjoy. The book concentrates on the role of the RF101 in VIETNAM, but has a section on the B model as well.
I'm a fan of the 101. We had three of them that were "penguins" (didn't fly) at Sheppard AFB used for training us Crew Chief's. I spent one day doing the BPO cards on one. Never got to see one fly. That would be a sweet RC jet.
Good ole Sheppard AFB. Couldn't wait to get out of there. 10 weeks there is 10 weeks to long. I couldn't imagine being there for over a year like some AFSC's. I was the last engine class to train on the 141 engine. We moved in the A-10 engine our last week there, but never got to work on them. And boy does it get cold there in December.
