longmc Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Does anyone know if the shore based BK birds had the IFR doors removed? I would assume they were being they'd most likely use AF tankers. thanks! Mike Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Leader Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 yes, doors would've been removed while they were deployed Link to post Share on other sites
VFA-103guy Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 yes, doors would've been removed while they were deployed Actually, no they weren't. All of VF-154's land based and carrier based F-14's had the IFR doors installed. Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Leader Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Actually, no they weren't.All of VF-154's land based and carrier based F-14's had the IFR doors installed. I SWEAR I've seen at least one photo of Al-Udeid based Black Knights with no IFR doors. I'm going through and looking now. Link to post Share on other sites
Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Just answered your question in our forum, but will add my reply here as well -- All the shots we got from -154 had the doors on and the guys I talked to didn't remember them being off. Save yourself the scratchbuilding this time. It's always possible one came off or was removed, but the squadron didn't remove the doors for cruise. I do have a shot of 101 (as seen on the instructions) where the door looks to be gull gray. -brian Link to post Share on other sites
