| 3 friends doing electronic checks at Tengah. Note the technician stood on the red top missile, highly illegal but most guys used to do it, to save time. The two large panels behind the cockpit were called "elephants ears" and held most of the electronic nav equipment.

Hundreds of ground man hrs for one flight hr, but once they were airborne man what a machine |
