Anyone have any pics of RBF tags on a fighter?

[Grayson72]

Does anyone have any shots of fighters or missiles with the "Remove Before Flight" tags attached and hanging off of them? I need some for reference.

I'm not so much interested in what the tags look like but more where they're attached.

Thanks,

Cool that works, do they only hang on missiles or are they on the aircraft too?

Got any photos of the real thing?

Above all else, hang them from the pitots and probes on a plane (especially around the nose). They're there to prevent dust/dirt getting in the openings. (The vinyl type that actually covers things)/goes over them

Also, be sure to put some on the gear struts. The type which is more like an actual tag, hanging from a pin. Pins are generally used to lock something open or closed.

Now that's more like it, cool pic dude thanks. Yeah I was looking for the pin type, now to figure out good spots for them on a VF.

So are they on missiles too? And are they on missiles when they're in storage?

I can get you a shot of EXACTLY how the pins go into Super Hornet gear if you want. (Crawled on the ground for those pics)

As for missiles: you'll generally find them all over on the pylons/rail right above them, but not ON them very often. However, you'll find one hanging off of a protective cover on the nosecone pretty often. Here's one I saw on an F-16C:
