Jetsetting it...

Postby Wing Nut » Thu Jun 24, 2004 10:12 pm

Just playing around, so I thought I might post a few pics.  Can someone tell me the logic behind putting the drop tanks on TOP of the wings?  ::)

wow, very nice. I especially like the Lightning and the Super Hornet. 2 of my fav's. ;D ;)
Im just guessing here but arnt the drop tanks on the top because it has v-shaped wings. the droptanks might scrape the ground at the back if they were on the bottom. ::)

thanks

I think, if I remeber right, the drop tanks have to go on top or you wont be able to get your undercart up or down!!

I can't remember where it was.  Most likely, in Florida.  Thanks for the comments guys, they are really appreciated.  ;D
