How was the F-105 centerline pylon mounted to the airplane?


Recommended Posts

One of the things one thinks of in the middle of the night: How was the F-105 centerline pylon mounted to the airplane? There is no mention of this in the Dash-1. One would think the mounting lugs would somehow pass through the doors to attach to the bomb bay ram, but the extra bomb bay fuel tank would have been mounted to it. I wouldn't think the doors would be strong enough to be able to attach an MER with six big bombs. Were there hard points in the doors themselves?

Thanks! I guess it’s going to take a weapons manual or a structural repair manual to see the mechanics of how the pylon attached. I’ve looked online, but the only manual I’ve been able to find is the Dash-1.

That might have some good info, but I haven’t been able to find one online. Just the Dash-1.

Have you visited Avialogs.com?  Not sure if they have one or not but if you haven’t already, it’s with a shot.   Yeah, don't bother...there's no IPB there either, I just checked.
