The bad ones were the F101s, just a small fuselage and about 3 feet of
wing on the sides, flying at 500' or less at better than 500 knots. You
didn't see them until they passed just off to the side, waving and
grinning. I still hate to see an F101.

Not the F-101 I'm thinking about. Wingspan is 39 feet 8 inches.

Maybe you were thinking the F-104 which has a wingspan just under 22 feet.
