F'in ugly but think of all the fuel you could put in there! How about a cocktail lounge or maybe a crew recreation area down there? Small workshop? You could turn it into a one bedroom apartment for Dave? How about a backup oil supply tank or spare hydraulic fluid reservoir?

I'm wondering, was this a radar or a MAD system? What did the detector look like with the dome off?

The clip Brad posted with the "pouring tea upside down." That is the same Skyraider. At the Olympic Flight Museum, it is known as "the tea party video."
