sycamore,
Our 167s were unarmed since they were used only for pilot and WSO training but now that you mention it, I now have doubts
about the strakes. Unfortunately I do not have any personal photos since in Saudi Arabia the carrying of cameras just about carried the death penalty.
Incidentally, most of the Strikies spun and recovered very well. Pre-spinning on an air test I always did an unaccelerated wings level stall and held the heavy buffet with almost full aft stick. If the aeroplane rolled more than 30 degrees I wouldn't spin it until after a rigging check. What about yours?
