hello,
maybe not the best spot to ask but here goes nothing,
is there anybody around here who can shed some light as to where the f-15 is jacked and if so pls provide some pics of the plane on jacks. i am trying to model a scene of a f-15 on jacks doing to simulate a gear swing but came up with nothing photo wise. i know this may sound a bit strange but i hope somebody from the military can answer this question.
thanks jw

They use 3 jacks, The main jacking plates are jest aft of the main gears wells, the forward plate is forward of the nose gear under the avionics bulkhead. I also seam to remember a 4 jack system in which 2 jacks were secured to either side of the nose fuselage. rather then the one on the plate.

Hope this helps out.

Mike
