In the mid-late 1970s, Florida sank an F-101, F-102, T-33 and Sikorsky off Bay County; the aircraft served as fishing and diving reefs for more than 10 years

In the mid-1970s, an Air Force F-101 Voodoo interceptor, a supersonic jet built to defend against Soviet bombers, was lowered off a barge into the Gulf of Mexico, about 60-70 feet down. The F-102 fighter, an Air Force T-33 trainer, and a Sikorsky helicopter were also in the suite. No ceremony, no environmental review board, only a barge, a crane, and the very American shrug.
