There can't be too many others who've flown it, around these hallowed halls.

Well, there's at least one ex-Voodoo driver here. I flew the RF-101G/H and the RF-101C from 1967 to 1973 in the ANG. This included the Active Duty recall in 1968 with a TransPac deployment to Japan. With lots of airspeed and low altitude, the 101 could be "horsed around" quite a bit. A hard turn would produce buffet before the Pitch Up horn would sound. Most of my time (800 hours) was in the G/H model. My unit didn't get the C model until around 1971. It was always my personal impression that the C was more sensitive to the Pitch Up horn than the G/H. The hung nose gear stories are true.
