Those are gun pods Dan, the F-4 had some too! However, it could carry 5 pods vs 2 for the MOAC.

I read about the SR-71 fuel leaks on the ground and the air until it got up to speed and heated up. Then I worked on the F-4. We kept the fuel cell guys busy resealing the wing tank channels. Pretty common issue. That was the first thing I checked on preflight so I could get them to the jet early and still make the mission.







Ray might I inquire, did you "work" out of Udorn RTAB?? I have a long life friend who flew F4's out of there into NVN. 1970.
