    ECM Pod correction

    ECM pod is not a 131, but a "QRC 80-01" variant of the Raytheon ALQ-119 ECM Pod. 80-01 pods were used in the region because of the presence of US made Hawk missiles (sold to Iran and other).

    The 363rd TFW Used the QRC 80-01 Pods!

    I can attest that the ECM pods used by the 363rd TFW (TAC) were QRC 80-01s, because I was in the unit and I'd personally worked on them. The ALQ-131 pods present at Al-Dhafrah came from the Hahn AB, Germany F-16 wing (I'd forgotten their unit name).
