VX-23 Camera Mounts

[Adam Baker]

Spent quite a bit of time searching, both here and elsewhere, and having a lot of trouble finding pictures of the camera mounts used by VX-23.

 

Using the Fightertown Decals Test Hornets sheet to build Salty Dog 400, so I'm trying to find pictures of the camera mounts so that I can look at building them.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, so far I'm striking out completely trying to find anything.

I know a couple of guys who work over there at 23, I'll pass the word that you're looking.

Understand however, while the cameras and mounts they use are not classified to any degree that I know of, the stuff they do over there generally is...so taking pictures is frowned upon at Pax on regular days.

Check this article out. Toward the bottom there is a good shot of the camera mount.

Also, halfway down this page there is a pretty good shot of the wingtip camera mount on SD 100.

I know there are better references out there that folks can help with (like Whitey said), so hold tight and they will show up.

These have all been released through PA, so they're fair game to use. That's all I have.

That would be great! I did come across a couple articles that I'd hoped would have pictures but didn't have much. They did talk about they're pretty strict about photography, which makes perfect sense.

Thanks! Those were actually the only 2 things I did manage to find, along w/ that picture.
