Not sure. Was over 30 years ago. They hung out on the ground and
remember pushing them into the retracted position and they would fall
out by their own weight, on pre flight. Want to say they were one
piece but ????????????????????

I never kept a Dash One on the T-39 so can't go there in my files to
answer your question. Didn't find anything via Google on the
construction of the slats. Just that they had them (

Was it the T-39 that had them in sections, like 2 per wing, so
that there were four altogether that could deploy at seemingly random
intervals? g

Was summer time and some turblance and slats kept banging in and out
against stops.

Gouge in the A-4 was that 1/2 slat extension was on-speed AOA in the
landing configuration. I never saw an AOA failure (very little time
in 'em, all in the back seat of T's), but I understand it could be
worked into your scan with some difficulty.
