This Day in McDonnell Voodoo History: June 29

In 1950, the official “fly-off” between the McDonnell XF-88A VooDoo, the Lockheed XF-90, and the North American YF-93 began.   Evaluation continued through the first week of July.  

On the same date in 1965, RF-101C pilot Maj. Marvin Lindsey was hit over North Vietnam and apparently killed in action, but by 1973 had been listed by the US government as MIA.
