Chaff tanks! 2 ALE-2s on a T33, call ahead, the dealer would be there
at BaseOps at Dow AFB with 300 lobsters - 150 per tank, seaweed and
ice and two quick ops-stop hops back to Homestead FL! Quite a sight to
see the bugs crawing about the 319th FIS ramp before the feast.

We didn't see that on our T-33s at Tyndall. I guess too much local
flying time for the interceptor training.
Did you fly with the ALQ-72 and have to keep the speed above 250kts or
the fuses would blow on the pod? With the amount of fuses we went
through at Tyndall keeping a T-33 above 250 seemed to be a problem..
