talonclaw126 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I have been looking all over the net, and I can't find the picture I'm looking for. SOOOOO, does anyone know where I could find a picture of 64-0551, c/n 4046 during Project 46 testing with tiger teeth? Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Davenport Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 that picture was taken just before the skyanchor failed on a 1,500 lb pick up -- sounded like a shot gun went off in the cockpit -- or politicaly correct flight deck -- then again I haven't been know to be politicaly correct! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talonclaw126 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 I could only imagine what that must have sounded like! the regular radomes were very thick and to have that fail...crazy. I remember seeing the 46 radome up at Duke when I was working them. I was 551's active duty dedicated crew chief when I left in 05. I just wish I knew all the history those planes had back then when I was working them. it blows me away how much the T1 shaped what we do today!!

maxfriedau Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 You can find a lot of history on all the Talon Is in Jerry Thigpen's Book "Praetorian Starship" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
