viking73 Posted June 27, 2020 #1 Posted June 27, 2020 Hello - Here is something I picked up today - the front instrument panel from F-101B Voodoo 58-0339!! I was so excited to find and buy this piece of Cold War aviation history! What really make it great I think are the sub panels. I'm sure these are almost impossible to find? Anyway, on to the photos! Looks like I'll be after some instruments now to fill those holes -Derek
lfwises Posted June 27, 2020 #5 Posted June 27, 2020 Most cool! Good luck with the instrument search. Steve
72psb Posted June 27, 2020 #6 Posted June 27, 2020 You've been busy! Nice finds.This will keep you busy for awhile.Like the tail plane cover also. Bob
P-59A Posted July 4, 2020 #7 Posted July 4, 2020 It looks like the 80339 tag is your radio call number. This is also the tail number. You might want to look at Baugher's list and see if #58-0339 brings up anything.

You might want to look at Baugher's list and see if #58-0339 brings up anything. Hi D - I did check Baugher's website and nothing is listed for her unfortunately. However, the website Forgotten Jets (http://forgottenjets.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/F-101.html) has this to say about F-101B Voodoo 58-0339: >1978: Oregon ANG 123rd FIS. >11/1981: Transferred into storage at the AMARC bone yard. >Was preserved at Hill AFB, UT. >1987: Salvaged in Salt Lake City, UT. The person I bought the panel from bought it from the guy that said he scrapped the aircraft. Attached is a really small and poor photo that he sent me from the scrapper. It's a pity since you can't make anything out from the photo. The scrapper did say that this panel was the only Voodoo item he kept... I haven't been able to locate any photos of her yet from her time with the Oregon ANG. Does the "KK24" placard mean that her side # was 24? I did find a photo of her in flight with the 18th FIS. Interestingly, my Google search turned up some models and model decals with Oregon ANG markings for 58-0339. All have side # 18 though... -Derek
phantomfixer Posted July 5, 2020 #9 Posted July 5, 2020 The weapona select panel and the engine fire panel are way cool...the parts are out there...will be a great hunt.....wish I saved the seat for ya..would have been great to mate them
P-59A Posted July 6, 2020 #10 Posted July 6, 2020 Did the tail number on Baugher's list line up with a contract of other Voodoo's?

I just dropped the Hill AFB Museum a line to see if might have any photos or information about this a/c before it was scrapped. 1987 was a while ago so fingers crossed... -Derek
viking73 Posted July 7, 2020 Author #13 Posted July 7, 2020 I installed the first instrument in the panel today - an Angle of Attack indicator I found on eBay -Derek
mohawkALSE Posted July 11, 2020 #14 Posted July 11, 2020 Dang it Derek! Stop buying everyhing up! You might as well build a steel building and start a museum.

You might as well build a steel building and start a museum. I'd sure love to but I can't stop hahahahaha!!! You guys know how it is! I wanted to post a photo of the progress I've made with this panel so far. It's been fun learning about this panel and hunting for the correct instruments. I was unable to find a maintenance manual a fellow collector in Canada was kind enough to send me a list of instruments with their part numbers and stock numbers. That has been a BIG help... -Derek
phantomfixer Posted September 25, 2020 #17 Posted September 25, 2020 hey Derek, I have a fuel quantity indicator NSN 6680-104-6707 0-16 x100lbs= 0-1600lbs indicator..if needed had an ADI that would have went good in your panel, was from a 105, but same same IIRC
viking73 Posted December 10, 2020 Author #19 Posted December 10, 2020 Hi Gents - Here's the latest shot of my panel. I am down to only needing 6 instruments now The search continues... I may also be the owner of a Voodoo ejection seat next week, stay tuned! -Derek
mohawkALSE Posted December 11, 2020 #20 Posted December 11, 2020 You're living life wild at that attitude haha. Thats coming along nicely, post that seat if you got it.

Thats coming along nicely, post that seat if you got it. Haha, for sure...! This one came all the way from a fellow collector in Thailand so no telling!! I'm supposed to go check out the seat this up coming Wednesday (it's about a 70 mile drive to where it's located) so wish me luck T. I'll be sure to let you know what happens -Derek
viking73 Posted March 21, 2021 Author #22 Posted March 21, 2021 While I was here, I thought I'd post an update on my Voodoo panel. I've added a few more things since I last posted. I've also replaced the fuel gauge with the correct one. I have a Mach indicator coming all the way from Germany which I hope to have in 10 - 14 days (fingers crossed USPS!). Once I have that one installed, I'll be down to the final three! Thanks for looking. -Derek
mohawkALSE Posted March 21, 2021 #23 Posted March 21, 2021 Next thing you'll post is you found a whole cockpit to put this in. Only a few more parts to go.
