Mama Mia, dats a soma filthy airplane. It ought to be named the Exxon Saigon. What are the two small tubes protruding from the front of the wing? I've never seen a gun with only that thin a barrel on a plane. Or is it some type of dual pitot?

[Jack Cook]

What are the two small tubes protruding from the front of the wing?

20mm

[Curtis Block]

Those are the 20mm's.

They just look small on such a big beast.

Are the Center and two inboard hardpoints fuel?
What is on the outboard pylons?

Steve

[Jack Cook]

outer hardpoints are CBU-25 bomblet dispensers.
inboard those looks like a BLU-32 napalm bomb

You've been flying Merlins far too long, You need to be flying behind a real engine, like a 3350! We could mount a 3350 on that Spit of yours...

Nope, the oil tank's too small; you'd only have half an hour's range

[b29flteng]

Good point. We could mount a belly tank with extra oil....
