This Day in McDonnell Voodoo History, February 16th:

In 1953, conversion of the first VooDoo prototype to the XF-88B had been completed, and the first ground run of the new Allison XT38-A-5 turboprop engine took place.  The new engine ran successfully for 29 minutes during the initial test run.  

On the same date in 1955, procurement of two Y/IF-101A and 26 IF-101A interceptor versions of the VooDoo was authorized. 

Also, in 1971, the last 13 active USAF RF-101s, all A-model aircraft, were transferred to the 191^st TRG of the Michigan Air National Guard from the 31^st TRTS of the 363^rd TRW.
