In Oct 1962 it flew low-altitude recon during the Cuban Missile Crisis and helped confirm that offensive missile sites were being dismantled. In March 1966 it went to war with the 45th TRS/460th TRW from Tan Son Nhut AB in Vietnam, seeing deployments to Misawa and Kadena in Japan, Andersen in Guam and Hickam, HI.

On display in the Southeast Asia War Gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. This 363rd TRG recce Voodoo was flown by Captain Ray Schrecengost in Op Sun Run. Named "Cin Min" for his daughters, it was the lead aircraft among four RF-101Cs which set three new transcontinental speed records in 1957 using four AARs each way. It flew with 363rd TRW during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The 'C' variant was used in combat during the Vietnam War, where this Voodoo served with 45th TRS at Tan Son Nhut AB. Recce Voodoos were heavily tasked, which included providing BDA that attracted AAA.

The RF-101 was the first supersonic photo-reconnaisance aircraft and this particular example was one of the planes responsible for obtaining the images confirming that the missiles sites were being dismantled and so brought an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis. It subsequently served with the 45th TRS in Southeast Asia and then the 153rd TRS at Key Field, MS from where it was ferried to the National Museum of the USAF during Oct. 78 for display.
