Anybody happen to live near March Air Force Base in California and need an excuse to visit the air museum?
I've learned the Northrop YA-9 had a 20mm Gatling gun installed for testing purposes (It was initially designed for the same gun as the A-10, the 30mm GAU-8 Avenger) After some research, I discovered that it was mounted in pretty much the same position as the YA-10:
Only problem is, unlike on the A-10, the gun doesn't stick out the front of the plane. So, where did the bullets leave the plane?
More research says there was a trough on the bottom of the nose that the gun fired through. This picture kinda shows it:
What I need is a full picture of the trough so I can design it in.
edit: I did find this video showing the YA-9 and YA-10 flyoff
