Thanks dude. The other way to take data was 3rd party from an ELINT platform via JTIDS/L16. Happy Xmas, mate.

All,

If we're being technically correct then they were interferometers in the wing nibs giving a far better angle of arrival and the F3 could triangulate between 2 jets via the data-link - very clever stuff amongst a whole host of other clever mods to make the EF-3. Heaps ahead of a lot of other aircraft then and now in this role with both SEAD and DEAD.

Does anyone know if an EF-3 made it into any of the museums?
