Papa Delta Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 What's the purpose of those straps you see wrapped around the radomes of parked RAF Phantoms? Always wondered what they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 They are a cover for sensors in the radome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) They cover and protect the static ports from dirt and water ingress, the ports are found on all blunt nose F-4s, but not the recce or gun nosed versions... -Daz Edited May 23, 2019 by Dazza 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
