On display in the Southeast Asia War Gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. This 363rd TRG recce Voodoo was flown by Captain Ray Schrecengost in Op Sun Run. Named "Cin Min" for his daughters, it was the lead aircraft among four RF-101Cs which set three new transcontinental speed records in 1957 using four AARs each way. It flew with 363rd TRW during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The 'C' variant was used in combat during the Vietnam War, where this Voodoo served with 45th TRS at Tan Son Nhut AB. Recce Voodoos were heavily tasked, which included providing BDA that attracted AAA.
