Take-off in the Voodoo was dead simple (although it all would occur very quickly): release brakes - full throttles - select burners (boom boom) - about 155 KIAS ease back on the stick and raise the nose about 5 degrees - check forward and hold that attitude - and about 230 KIAS the aircraft would very gracefully leap into the sky. --TLB

F-101 liftoff at 230 KIAS {?}

Sounds a bit fast for routine takeoff roll.

Were the tires rated for that high a speed ?
