To be truly authentic, your Voyager needs to eject a BT-60 sized payload capsule that descends on its own parachute.

(What was George Roos smoking when he came up with that?)

Probably. I grabbed a handful when I was at the Air Force Museum in Dayton a few years ago. My niece and nephew got ahold of some of them, but I kept two back for emergencies such as this.
