I remember what may be the same picture, a DC-9 fitted with a

far on the NASA Dryden site. Any other ideas?

We put ours on the spine of the Jetstar and drove it with bleed air.

That DC-9 you recall probably belonged to GE, which has a test
facility in Mojave.

GE red hats from North Base did the UDF and the GE90. IIRC there is only an
artist's rendering of the UDF on an MD-80, while the engine actually flew on
the flight test 727-100 that lives at Mojave.
