USAF Flight Manual: 12 January 1970 Upgrades T.O. 1F-100D(I)-1S-120
Base Project High Wire
This upgrade is to provide aircrew information on aircraft for installation of Data Recorder
equipment. DR is to record basic information on flight conditions i.e., velocity, G-forces,
and altitude. This data will be used to study the results of various mission requirements and
determine the effects on the fatigue life of the aircraft structures:
-- VGH A/A24U-10 Recorder
-- Magnetic tape media
-- Records during gun firing, store release, in-flight refueling, change in nose gear load
switch position
-- Powered by the primary bus
-- TRK-77/A24U Accelerometer
-- VGH REC/LDG POS CONTROL, no cockpit controls
Other 1970 changes include: (previous T.O. -1S-nnn supplemental upgrades)
--119 Relocation of Sight Selector Unit
-- Relocation of Variable Rocket Depression Unit
--118 Information on ECM Pod QRC-160-8 (AN/ALQ-87)
--117 Information on variety of ordinance and special stores
--116 Classified
--115 For F-100Fs
--114 Classified
--112 Modified Oil Pressure Relief Valve for J-57
--111 Relocation of Fuel Boost Pump and test switch
--110 CBU-42/A authorization
--109 BLU-32/B Firebomb Unfinned
--108 Information on CBU-37/A
Initial High Wire Upgrades ( 31 August 1967 - 15 December 1969)
A modernization programme of 2 simultaneous operations: an electrical rewiring operation,
and a heavy maintenance improvements and IRAN operations. Also including design changes,
safety instructions, aircraft characteristics, normal and emergency operations, and overall
aircraft and documentation standardization.
