BTW, anybody here ever fly an aircraft with a "yaw string"?
IIRC, the AF-9j and the F-14A had one (as well as civilian gliders). Maybe it was a only Grumman thing.... although I don't think the A-6 had one, did they?
Regardless, I found it was an extremely important (though lo-tech as it was) device to assist greater accuracy in weapons delivery, both air-to-air and air-to-ground.
