Can you get the IR Head up by using battery power or 28v outside power? Also where is the battery location on the six?

Lets see now! First, the Battery is located in the Nose Wheel Well, on the left side, aft of the CADC. (Control Air Data Computer!) Second, the IR head problem. The IR head was raised with air pressure from the IR Selector valve located on the forward bulkhead in the Nose Wheeel Well. Right above the coolant duct for the RADAR and COmputer racks. The Valve needed 28VDC to actuate it, the pressure lines then were routed up through the overhead bulkhead to the actuators inside the IR compartment. As I recall, the Head could be raised manually, providing NO air pressure was in the lines. To do so, you have to take off the access panel to the rear of the IR Head (About 16 screws on a panel about 6 X 8 inches). Then with the panel removed you could have access to the lifting mechanism. You manually pried and pushed and tugged with a combination of BMFSD's , and your hands. You might have access to the lifting mechanism if the Head is not present. That would make things a whole lot easier! With the head in place you have to push down on the bottom of the IR head while lifting up on the"middle" panel. Once it causes the linkage to pass over center, the head will come up very easily. Just getting it started is the hard part. If you have access to Air pressure and a 1F-106A-2-27-5 Tech Order, you can find the connector for the IR Selector valve, and the pins to actute it (Section 4, I believe!). Add about 24+ volts to the pins on the valve (Two car batteries hooked in Series should be sufficient!), and have about 500 to 1500 PSI air hooked up to the selector valve. That would do the job nicely! Give it a try! If it works, then have a beer for me and one for you! MArv
