[Milsurplus] RE: LP 21 football shaped loop antenna on jet acft?

[Lloyd KK7IZ]

Subject "aircraft" is methane powered by 8 or 9 reindeed and one fat Kris 
Kringle, who had a double helping of kraut prior to departure. Loop was 
stolen from an air base in the course of their rounds because they could not 
find some 3/4 race Buick portholes.
