T-38A Travel Pod

[John Bowden]

OK guys I need to find some info on the T-38A Talon travel pod......... I know it is:

1. unique to the Talon
2. ain't round but oval shaped
3. the mounting pylon is permanently attached to the pod

What I don't know is the length of the pod, length of the pylon (if I get the length of the pod I can figure out the length of the pylon), The approx diameter of the pod.......... and it real shape.........

I've googled it, found some pictures, none with a head on view, and found NO info what so ever on the vital statistic..........
I know the RC guys have something because there is a mold to make them, but I found no info that they used to make the mold.

My T-38 books got some pictures but no real info I can use to make one.

If anyone has something that can help, I would really appreciate it............


Thanks

john

Thanks Maurice!

Yeah it looks like I'm going to have to use "Eyeball John" software to create this one.........your measurements coincide with mine.

P.S. Yeager used to carry his guns in one whenever he was traveling and it was hunting season.........they would probably have a problem with that now!
