UMtree2

Sensor dispenser for the F-4 at Ubon in 1971. Sensors were loaded in the dispenser, then the dispenser loaded on the plane. An ejector cartridge would shove the sensor out the rear and it would bury itself up to a stop in the ground. Readings would be transmitted to a relay plane and sent on to Igloo White where it would be interpreted and used for target selection.
