RF84K
FS-265 is one of the 25 converted RF84Fs, redesignated RF84K, for the FICON project (Fighter Conveyer). That is not a cable cutter but a retractable hook that fitted to a trapeze in a B36 bomb bay. The F84 was taken into the air hooked to the B36 and then released at high altitude to save fuel. The only unit I know of was 91 Strategic recon Sqd in 1955.
