Can anyone identify the store in station 7 (or is it 3?)? Looks like its protruding the same radar reflectors usually found on chin pods on Aggressor Vipers. This from the last Red Flag held in Alaska.

Hello idesof,

I believe that it is the AN/ALQ-188 carried under the wing and not at its usual place on sta. 5.

Greetings,

Henrik.

Henrik's right. Although not its usual place, it isn't unheard of for the pod to be on station 3 or 7.

My answer from this thread:

Quote:
AN/ALQ-188
Its role is to simulate various (non-US) aerial threats.


The same explanation should cover all alien pods, dead geckos, ... hung from agressor planes.
You probably won't get any more details on this forum.
