The Save The Voodoo 006 Campaign

Save The Voodooo 006
Earlier this year the Jet Aircraft Museum in London Ontario was awarded the opportunity to save a CF-101 Voodoo jet that is currently located in Cornwallis Nova Scotia. The retired Canadian Air Force jet represents a important time in Canada’s jet heritage and the Save Voodoo 006 project has been raising funds to save this unique jet.

Voodoo #006 was one of two of the last in service CF-101 Voodoos in 1987. On April 19, 1987, Voodoo #101006, made the world’s last Voodoo flight, going to CFB Greenwood, NB. The aircraft was then moved to its current resting and display place in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia at the Cornwallis Military Museum. However, the aircraft has been sitting outside since that time and the Cornwallis Military Museum has made the difficult decision to award the aircraft to another museum. That museum is the Jet Aircraft Museum (JAM) at London International Airport in London, ON, Canada. JAM hopes to save Voodoo 006 by moving her to London and begin restoration.
