I was wondering what the gizmo on the stab was. Interesting use for that flying surface. The boundary control and deicing came off the engine compressor; the F-4 used a similar system for the leading and trailing flaps on the wings. When the slats were applied, they left the tubing in the leading edge, so the jet gained about 1500 pounds of dead weight.

Oddly interesting. I'm in to follow. -
Craig, I inherited a canvas bag that holds all the safing pins from our ejection seat trainer. The chair had to be turned in, when we converted to the tanker, but I guess the guys in the shop liked me, so I was gifted the pin bag. There are I think 13 pins that were installed in the seat to safe all the assorted charges on the chair, since they were all exposed. That's some off those little tubes you see on the castings. The follow on jets, F-15, 17, A-10 all have ACES II seats and have I think one lever to safe the seat. Progress. Seats are looking good. Interesting feature of the Bucc was the backseat is offset from the front seat, instead of the inline tandem in most two seaters.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
