::)Hi Older than me Sarge, Speaking of pitot booms, we at the Castle Air Museum, who are restoring an F102A and a TF 102A, have contacted a person that can produce a tube, pitot boom, approximately 50 inches in length-2 1/2" butt x 1 1/2' top x .125 wall thickness. Anyone interested would have to provide the pitot , shall we say, probe or head. We can locally manufacture the sleeve that attaches to the fitting on the radome of an F102 or an F106. If any Museum or individual is interested in obtaining a pitot boom, please contact me at dartmachbuster@aol.com. I can advise you of the production time and costs. Ralph
