In 1965, 29 F-101As and 31 F-101Cs were modified under the new designations RF-101G and RF-101H, respectively, to serve as unarmed reconnaissance aircraft with Air National Guard units. RF-101Gs and Hs were operated by three Air National Guard units: the 154th TRS in Arkansas, the 165th TRS in Kentucky and the 192nd TRS in Nevada. In early 1968, the seizure of the U.S. naval surveillance vessel Pueblo by the North Koreans led President Lyndon B. Johnson to activate all three Air National Guard Voodoo units. Each served a rotational tour at Itazuke Air Force Base, Japan, and compiled impressive records, flying 19,715 tactical hours in 11,561 sorties and exposing 841,601 feet of aerial film.
