The design references the McDonnell F-101 Voodoo, flown by the United States Air Force from the late 1950s through the early 1970s. This version features an embroidered patch on the left chest and a hand applied print, completed at our Kobe headquarters using traditional manual techniques, achieving the authentic texture and feel of vintage t-shirts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnits such as the 49th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron, based at Griffiss Air Force Base, stood on alert with the F-101B variant as part of the continental air defense network. Their task was interception, responding to radar warnings and preparing to counter potential Soviet bomber incursions during the height of the Cold War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name “Voodoo” was one of several otherworldly titles adopted by McDonnell in this period. Comparable examples include the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II, the McDonnell F3H Demon and the McDonnell XF-85 Goblin. Although the term derives from West African spiritual traditions later practiced in Haiti and the American South, its use in aviation suggested speed, force and a psychological edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “Scope Wizard” element refers to the Radar Intercept Officer seated behind the pilot in the F-101B interceptor. Responsible for operating the onboard radar and guiding the aircraft onto target, this crew member worked from the radar display known as the “scope.” In air force slang, a highly capable operator could be called a “wizard” to imply proficiency in electronic tracking and fire control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Cotton Fabric, 8 oz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCotton Sewing Thread Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbroidered Patch on Front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand Applied Print on Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- notionvc: 5f054179-dd57-4441-9d69-5b011fa0bcf1 --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Real McCoy's","offers":[{"title":"ECRU \/ S","offer_id":47588743053570,"sku":"MC26011","price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"ECRU \/ M","offer_id":47588743086338,"sku":"MC26011","price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ECRU \/ L","offer_id":47588743119106,"sku":"MC26011","price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ECRU \/ XL","offer_id":47588743151874,"sku":"MC26011","price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ECRU \/ XXL","offer_id":47588743184642,"sku":"MC26011","price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0302\/9939\/0092\/files\/MC26011_ECR_251016_6361.jpg?v=1774516502","url":"https:\/\/therealmccoys.com\/products\/military-tee-voodoo-scope-wizard_012-ecru","provider":"The Real McCoy's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
