Scott R Wilson Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) You guys are waaaay overthinking this. It's simply a mistake by whoever painted the airplane. They copied the sample data block right out of the Tech Order. Unfortunately I can't post a screenshot of the TO page, but it's identical to what is stenciled on this airplane. You can see it here in Peter Greengrass' post on this Facebook group: https://m.facebook.com/groups/QF4FSAT/permalink/4090911207631663/ Edited May 5, 2021 by Scott R Wilson Added details allthumbs, RLWP, Chek and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Williams Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 LOL, at least the person who did it had the sense to copy from the F-4E/G page in the T.O. instead of the F-4C/D page. Derek B and allthumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Good spot Scott! Unfortunately, that is the nature/mentality of TO type orders...monkey see, monkey do (no disrespect here to any highly trained aircraft technicians here - I have worked (and written) both US and UK tech order/instructions, and there is, shall we say, quite a difference in how they are understood at service level! ).
