Lockheed F-94 Starfire series
This is the start of a very lengthy project to detail the operational histories of the entire series of Lockheed F-94 Starfire all-weather jet fighters of the 1950s and 60s. These were all-weather two-seat rocket-armed interceptors designed as night fighters to combat Russian aggression. They were originally modifications of the P-80/T-33 series, though by the end of the production run they were distinct aircraft. While they didn't serve on the frontline very long, they filled the gap between the old WWII all-weather fighters and the new F-89 Scorpion. After being replaced by the Scorpion, the Starfires served on in Air National Guard units for several more years before fading into obscurity.
And yes, I know that technically only the F-94C was called "Starfire", but in common usage the name was applied to the As and Bs as well, so that's what I'm going with.
There were three distinct production models of the F-94 Starfire...
