SSgt Phil Ashby servicing our smoke oil system (4 special modified AIM-7

This raw 10-10 oil would later be pressurized and plumbed to the smoke probe behind the # 1 exhaust and with a flick of the switch on the inboard throttle it would dump into the hot exhaust and vaporize to the white air show smoke. |
