McDonnell F-88 and F-101 Voodoo

[apophenia]

...

So, What-If the decision to develop a two-seat F-101 was taken in late '52 - early '53 and the J67
development came off without a hitch? The use of the Olympus leading to a proposal to use it as
the basis of a NATO and SEATO common long-range interceptor with or w/out SAGE equipment
depending on customer and region-meaning that the USAF and RCAF would be the only services
having the requirement. In the case of the latter service the US DOD and McDonnell sweetening
the pot by bringing in Avro Canada with a manufacturing deal similar to Canadair's Sabre deal
with North American. CAC in Australia later being brought in for the assembly of McDonnell kits,
which then transitioned into the licensed manufacture of some assemblies and the service support
contracts. The CAC assembled aircraft were originally only for the RAAF, but later they received
a contract to supply aircraft for the Philippine Air Force and Taiwan.  ..

Nice! Love the CAC and Avro Canada tie-ins

Feel free to explore it if you wish.

Hmmm...I'm liking your thinking.  Given the F-101 had the long range it might very well have found favour.  If one could find a way to deal with timings, in RAAF service it could very well have supplemented and then replaced the CAC Sabre and even the EE Canberra and adopting the roles of long range fighter/interceptor, recon and even strike aircraft with both B and C and even RF variants.  An engine change as suggested, especially if it followed later real world developments of the Olympus (though possibly brought forward), is also interesting.  Could make an interesting alternative to the F-4 for many

EF-101B/D. A what-if Wild Weasel. Put it in the TO-114 three colour Vietnam finish

Note the first WW F-4s were designated EF-4Cs: "The F-4C Wild Weasel IV also bore the unofficial designation of EF-4C"
