Oliver I havn't decided yet. Tempting to do a VF-84. But themred and white from the Sundowners is good on the grey.

Hi Oliver,

Almost there! Those exhaust cans take a bit of work.

Regarding the RBF tag on the hook. I think it should be closer to half way along the hook rather than at the end.

This was impossible to check during the pre-flight due to that part normally being well out over the edge of the flight deck. I read that on one cruise it was missed and also the final checkers failed to pick it up too, resulting in zero chance of lowering it and a forced landing into the barrier was the only way of recovering back onto the ship!

Hairystick and madcat911, thanks for your infos your eagle eyes :winkgrin:

About the RBF tag on the hook, i will correct that - but is 1 enough or should there be 2 of them? On many pics i saw 2 of them on the hook!

Mark, the fairing will be sprayed when the exhaust are finished completly, but thanks.

Hi Oliver,

I can't find any photos of 2 RBF pins. Plenty with the one pin inserted though.

There are two "lumps" on the upper side of the hook. One is merely a large rubber bumper and the other (closer to the pivot point) is the uplock where the pin goes.

Do you have a link for a photo with 2 pins attached? You've got me intrigued now!

Better get a seat and popcorn booked for the Rhino too!
