there were several nose mods tried, and the "dented" one was the last
& it was for the ECM antenna.


I'm sure ECM should be instantly clear to me, but I'm not sure in this
case...
Electronic Counter Measures? I didn't know 71's needed them! g

(from what I remember , NASA had a canard on atleast one test..)
have to go to the books to get the model/test...)
there were also several noses depending on the mission.
much like the Dragon lady has....
again got to go to the books, and can,t right now. got to
finish mowing the front yard.. .


Thanks for your interest. It is good to know
(but not surprising that someone in this great group)
that someone has the resources to get a line on this difference.
