+daddyairplanes 10,305 Posted July 10, 2023 yeah well that gun looks F CKING HUGE when its pointing at you! (for those that are wondering, i had to run out to a field site on Bragg on fine day in my personal car. lets say the crew wasnt expecting a 99 Buick LeSabre out where they were flying, and that chain gun tends to follow the motion of the nose gunners head!) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Righteous26 70 Posted July 10, 2023 All four of the pylons are articulated. This appears to be some sort of maintenance test. The pylons have a limited range of motion while the wheels are on the ground and the squat switch is engaged. The squat switch can be overridden by the SQT ORIDE switch in the right rear avionics bay. It can not be overridden from the cockpit. Either pilot can slave the gun to his head.
