Not electronics, but chaff tanks on EB-57s had been known to carry
smoked hams, shrimp, and beer.

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.

Dave MacAllister, the CO of the old 142nd FS, Delaware ANG, was from a well
known family on the main Line in Phila that made the best Snapper Soup in
the entire United States. Dave used to fill the gun bays of his F86A and
later his H with Snapper Soup and fly the stuff all over the country to give
to people.
I as well used the gun bays on my P51D to transport at least one clean suit
for those awful rubber chicken dinners that the local Chamber of Commerce
used to "require" I attend at every air show I ever flew!!! :-))
