NLG extension

From memory, the F4K extended by 40" on a double telescopic compared with the USN/USMC 20" extension.
On the K this gave 9 degrees of incidence and the rotation at the end of the cat stroke was a further 5 degrees minimum to achieve climb-out at launch speed dependent on launch weight.
But, it's all a long time ago.
Nice shots John.
