Hawk 200s from test units

Nope -- the last F-105 was retired in the Eighties, and they had both styles of IFR device.

Nice profiles! More to think about...  


Probes were deactivated and removed after Vietnam however. Huns carried them until they left the inventory in 1979. I believe that was the last active a/c with a useable probe in the USAF.

What about the USAF (or the Reserves and the ANG at any rate) OA-37Bs? They flew well into the '80s and had IFR probes.

Evan's going to feel a bit silly when he takes a second look at the Edwards Hawk.

*laughs at himself* Well, yeah.  I'll plead tiredness after my first day back at work after being out with an illness for two weeks.

(At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it )

Phew!  At least there's a good explanation!

For a minute I had visions of USN/USMC/RAF pilots wondering why the N1 was spooling down mid-ocean while repeadedly (and futilely) ramming a flight data probe into a basket.

This is not a whatif! Before having AV-8B, Spain had AV-8A (similar to the GR.3 you drawn) and they were named Matador... well, it was the Spanish Navy, and they are now operating in Thailand from the Shakri Nerubet (poor ship I scorched the name so much )

Call it a "semi-whiff".  Matadors were operated by the air arm of the Spanish Navy while this one is clearly operated by the Spanish Air Force. Sure looks good, though.
