What size external fuel tanks does the F-22A use? I have seen 350gal, 400gal and 600gal quoted.

It uses a modified 609 gallon tank with a fixed pylon. The pylon drops off with the tank when discarded.

Thanks ... the four F-22A that arrived in the UK from AK used the external tanks for the crossing. When they last visited the UK in 2008 they were clean.
