The Voodoo's career as a fighter-bomber ended in 1966, but the reconnaissance versions remained in service until the 1980's.
Along with the US Air Force's U2 Spyplane and US Navy's RF-Crusaders the RF-101 reconnaissance variant of the Voodoo was instrumental during the Cuban Missile Crisis, however the majority of it's service was during the Vietnam War.
Interceptor versions of the RF-101 served with the Air National Guard until 1982, and in Canadian service they were a front line part of NORAD until their replacement in the 1980s .
While the Voodoo was a moderate success, it may have been more important as an evolutionary step towards its replacement in most roles, the F-4 Phantom II.
