Hi! My name is LighTningH35, I'm French and I'm a great fan of the Raptor Very Happy (but rafale is the best forever. Twisted Evil )

I'm questionning about a little detail and I want an answer...
I don't find answers in francophone forum and this why I am here. Smile

What is it? http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee30 ... atisit.jpg

I suppose it's a camera pod to film the bombs and missiles drop. But this pod is present in airshow too. And I don't understand the role of this camera.

A polyvalent pod to transport a camera or a system to disturb the radar sign?

Thanks for your answers. Wink

Ps: Sorry for my english. Embarassed

Camera housing. Note the "ED" on the tail, it's an Edwards test bird. It's filming the weapon release.

Yes I know that this image is a test but I have seen this pod in airshow images. It's a camera too?? Smile
