A troll like Ferrin is incapable of humility.


A troll like Tarver. Incapable of offering any proof for anything he
says.


Cook just posted the proof.





He posted a picture of the entire airplane. Why don't you clarify and
specify which part of the airplane they are referring to?


Take a close look at each side of the refuelling receptical, I'll make
the blownup version available here.

Major Ian Gottcher is quoted the text :-.

'The airfoils are made from a fibrous blue kevlar type material which
move up into the airflow when certain flight conditions are met, this
creates a pair of vortexs across the back of the Aircraft which
interacts with the vertical tail planes to aid in control and
stabalisation'

The maintainence crews apparently call the fins 'Smurfs' due to their
color.
I'm sure they have nicked this name from the british Hawk jet, can
anyone confirm.

'Angles of Attack are increased by several percent when the fins
are deployed'

Any spelling mistakes/grammatic errors are there purely to annoy. All
opinions are mine, not TAFE's however much they beg me for them.
