CJ Martin Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Wow that is some serious erosion on that pizza box. I used to support that program at one time. We had similar erosion problems with the blade antenna array (a.k.a. "bird slicers") on the C/D, and IIRC that drove a coating change at the supplier. As a general rule, Fleet maintainers can't / are supposed to paint antennas as it messes them up. They do have erosion tape that can be used on blade antennas. It's a clear tape applied to the the leading edge only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bmccarron Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I wonder if there was a "dirty bird" contest for the C/F-18s, between the USN and the RCAF, who would win? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
