Old Viper Tester Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) A lone F-4N, BuNo 150632 of VMFA-112, on the Transient Ramp at Nellis AFB, October 1981. Surprised that the drag chute lines are routed under the tail plane and wing. When the chute is brought back to the ramp, rather than jettisoned once clear of the runway, I've usually seen it routed over the aero surfaces and then secured (tied) to the inboard station for taxiing in. Thanks for looking, Sven Edited October 19, 2018 by Old Viper Tester 16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dot Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 hi Sven, as you say, the chute route is strange as there are lots of moving bits it could tangle with Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
