Hi Steve,

I just scanned some photos which I took last = year in=20 Munich at the "Flugwerft Oberschleissheim" (i. e. the aeronautics = department of=20 the Deutsches Museum).

I hope you are interested in publishing them on = your=20 ARC-site.

Some explanations (headed by the file names, as = I will=20 send each file as a separate e-mail w/o text):

F86VI_undfusemid

shows the aircrafts belly just aft of the wings, = visible=20 are two intake scoops for cooling air (?) in the 4 and 8 o'clock = position and=20 two smaller outlets nearer to the middle.

F86VI_rtfusemid

shows the fuselage's central section, right = side. Notice=20 the shape of the right cooling air intake scoop, just 5 o'clock oft the = iron=20 cross. The small red block on the wing is just a fixture against = hampering=20 by museum visitors.

F86VI_intake

shows the pitot tube inside the intake (12 = o'clock), the=20 gun camera opening (dark oblong on lower intake lip), the landing lights = (left=20 and right below) and the folded forward nose gear door:

F86VI_ltfusemid

shows four outlet openings: on the back fairing = of the=20 canopy for the cabin air-conditioning, aft of it, somewhat to the left = another=20 ellipsoid shaped (signal flare port? starting cartridge exhaust? who = can shed=20 light on this?) and two rectangular air outlets, one on the left = side and=20 one on the spine. Also visible, though fuzzy, is the fuselage separation = line=20 (to get at the turbine)

F86VI_exhaust

shows the fuel dumping vent (aerodynamic tube at = 8=20 o'clock) a small vent under the exhaust, some rib rings inside the=20 fuselage, the exhaust pipe itself, a trapezoid of heavy rivets with a = rivet line=20 in it's middle above the exhaust and the white aft position light just = under the=20 vertical stabilizer

F86VI_ltback

shows the shape of the fuselage/stabilizer = blend, a gap=20 through which the horizontal stabilizer is articulated (fully) and = (again) the=20 fuel dump vent

F86VI_nosgeabay

is a view from the aft left, one can see the = left side of=20 the gear leg hinge, some hydraulic lines on the gear leg and part of the = steering mechanism. Inside the well one can see a disk with four holes, = serving=20 as a caster/reel (please search for the correct word)=20

and some tubing.

F86VI_rtnosgea

shows the right side of the nose landing gear. = Visible are=20 the attachment points of the retraction strut and of the forward = gear well=20 door. Also, one can see the tyre-valve (6 o'clock, inside the = rim).

There will be more photos, by and by, some more = on the=20 F-86, some T-33 and the H-34 photos I tried to mail you around November=20 2000.

Tschuess,

Jan
