I was just wondering if any buddy stores carried internal
fuel,or if all the internal space was taken up by the
drogue, hose and reel, pump, etc. I have conflicting
sources, so hopefully those here with personal experience
can give me the straight skinny. If you can mention the
particular model(s) you're familiar with (if you remember)
and its capacity (if any), that would help.


Guy,
According to the Station Loading charts in my F-4J NATOPS, the D-704
has an Empty Weight of 733#, and a Full Weight of 2773#. Sounds like
there's a shade over 2,000# of fuel in it.
For JP-5 that would work out to 300 U.S. Gallons.


Gotta add this since ya mentioned the F-4J...When in VF-151, we had one
bird with wing tanks and Fox 'have ya seen my moovie' Farrell strapped a
D-704 on the centerline and had one Phantom tank from another. Then did
a fly by on the Midway-maru.
