AV8boy,
Sorry, didn't mean to insult all americans, its just that I am getting a bit fed up with the whole "we are the greatest" attitude of some of your countrymen.
To get back to the subject, I dont think that carrying an external pod on a 2 engine a/c would be very safe, especially if they where wing mounted engines, think of the extra yaw moment in an engine failure situation.
