Development of the unarmed RF-101, the world’s first supersonic photo-recon aircraft, began in 1956. Using the reinforced airframe of the F-101C, the RF-101C first flew on 12 July 1957, entering service in 1958. It had up to six cameras in place of radar and cannons in the reshaped nose and retained the bombing ability of the fighter-bomber versions. 166 RF-101Cs were built, including 96 originally scheduled to be F-101C fighter-bombers.
