Looking forward to getting the Ole Gal!!:salute::salute::salute:
 
Hey Chief, looks like you were radiating in the hangar bay! The Air Boss is gonna be unhappy if the ship was supposed to be at EMCON! :icon_lol:

The SLUF is indeed coming together. I'd post more pics myself were it not for the unfortunate demise of my FS computer, may it R.I.P.

Funny radar story. We AQs had to maintain that APQ-126 radar set. The A-7E, unlike most jets of the time, and all jets of today, could be made to transmit the radar on deck. Just turn the darned thing on and it would happily radiate across the flight line. Perhaps because it was such a low powered radar, they didn't see the need for weight-on-wheel, gear up-and-locked, and air data sensor based interlocks that prevent radars of today from blasting away while on deck. So when we would troubleshoot a sick radar, one of the first things we would want to know was "is it transmitting?" The quickest way to absulutely guarentee that it was transmitting was to grab the feed horn on the antenna. Of course it was best to put the radar in AGR mode, which made the antenna sit still... The other mapping modes made the antenna sweep to and fro and that made it hard to grab hold if the feed horn... If it was warm to the touch, it was radiating! Actually it was pretty hot, and you couldn't hold it for more than a couple seconds... :eek:
 
The weather isn't so good today....

Not a nice day to fly, but.......

I pick up "A-7 Corsair II in Action" its a small magazine/book on the A-7 getting ready for the release. They really have some great paints for this aircraft.

more excited about this one then the A-6 and that is still one of my all time favorites...:salute:
 
Rattler,

I believe it (the A-4) ported over with no problem. Maybe if Prowler reads this, he can add credence to my claim. I will check with him though.
