Dutch, I just saw your comments about 3134 while looking at eh Dyess A model pics. We just chopped 3134 up last year in Tucson. I have some sad pics of it being shredded if you are interested. I see you are the only other person I have come across who has any idea how the combat pylon fuel system works!

Bob, Itried to send you a PM on this but could not.

So I will do it here. No I do not think I would like to see any pictures of her being shredded. To many memories, have seen pis of her prior to it though.

As far as the combat pylon fuel system I have never seen any of the tanks on an aircraft. Did look them up in the -1 and -2 a loooooong time ago just because I had the panel in the acft. Little thing that used to happen to me about external tanks. 53-3134 never had any but the schedulers kept trying to get her to fly wit 32,000 internal and full external tanks all of the time.

Thanks for the thoughts'
