This one's on display in Hudson, Wisconsin. It'll be in front of the local American Legion or VFW. (I forgot which one.) I took these visiting in-laws last July. No exact match for 53-6026, either. -C

The last 3: I checked the serial number for this one against Joe Baugher's excellent online reference and did not see an exact match. I assume that 0-36026 is a 1950 number. -C

To avoid confusion, and in spirit of full disclosure, a bit ago I posted links to several photos in my Photobucket account. I received the images in an email from my dear ole' Dad, a retired Navy PH (photographer--a rating I understand does not exist anymore in the advent of new technologies...) This image he scanned and sent me, and I assumed he snapped it. This may not be the case in that I've found the exact same image elsewhere on the web. -C

Thanks, Gregg. I think I'm leaning towards arctic camo, but am undecided on markings as of yet. Was thinking perhaps as the bottom plane here, though not marked like a Stuka. -C

After doing a few searches, I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that there are no really eye-grabbing aftermarket decal sets for the F-101. By this I mean some really bold hi-viz type markings. Perhaps the F-101 was not really subject to this style of marking in the first place, which if true, is sad, IMHO. Any recommendations? Or should I do a fun "what if?" of a Voodoo dressing up as something else? -C

I may try and grab some buddies from work and drive down--from DC. Never been to any con before, why not start with a biggee? -Charlie
