The Blues bolted 'um shut. Can you imagine what would happen in a tight
diamond with an A4 if a wing position got an asymmetrical slat extension
with roll induced....say in a barrel roll? Not a pretty thought!! :-))
Also bolted shut when the A-4E/F (AKA Mongoose) was used as adversary for
F-8 and F-4. Then unbolted when the Turkey showed the necessity of better
slow speed capability.
