Nope. All the parts are there and it's crew ready. |

| I thought your buddy block25dude was right, it's in the HAS backwards. Must have been under simulated attack or sumthin. |

| Yes it is in backwards. We had to share a tug with everyoen else and were last in line. It was really cutting into the beer drinking so we hot stuffed (read: taxied in) both jets and pushed them out in the morning. The pod is where it's at for ferry flight. |

| I would say this is a Gen 3 HAS and the jet is awaiting the ferry flight home from an exercise or something. Anyway the light from the rear is weird so I would say you are just hanging our awating to be moved out for launch. Or are you having your freind stand their while you have turned the JFS to on to pump the bottles so you don't have to manually pump???? |

I’ll take a stab,
There is a tremendous light source coming from the right, the relective tape on the crew ladder is lit up pretty good. It looks like the shelter doors are closed and light is reflecting off of that as well. Is it an inadvertent flare ignition from the jet on the other side?
For the shelter, all the lights above in the photo are working, and that is unique. I don’t see low level side lighting, and the EFLUX fan ducting is different. There are also four studs in the middle of the floor (must be an A-10 thing) that I wouldn’t roll the jet over.
I don’t see a fire bottle and the covers are not on the jet so I’m assuming it has arrived recently. I also don’t see a personnel door, but that could be hidden by the jet, or on the other side which would be different.
Also the other jet could be facing the opposite direction with the landing light on for light enhancement of your photo session |
