Well there she is the AN/ALQ 131 Blk II. I now have over three years experience on the pod. I personally think the -131 is a better pod than the rival -184. The -131 pod is FAR easier to work on, all you have to do is pop off the side panels hook up your electrical connections and cooling connections (which is water instead of Coolanol) and there ya go! To further my point in the recent crisis in Kosovo, Shaw AFB SC left there -184 pods at home and took the -131's from Cannon's AFB NM. Enough with the debate here are some Pics!

	This is basically the same shot, but this time we have my Best friend Tom's Daughter Shelby in the bottom right!
Sorry for the stock photo, but it was there! I have NEVER seen a Pod this clean!	Northrop Grumman's AN/ALQ-131 (Formally Westinghouse), one of the most successful ECM systems ever built, can counter today's threat and adapt to tomorrow's conflict.  Undefeated in more than 8,000 Gulf War sorties, the AN/ALQ-131 protects against radar-directed weapons and is certified on the F-16, F-111, A-10, F-4, F-15, F-5 and C-130 aircraft.  More than 1,350 systems have been delivered to the U.S. Air Force and the air forces of nine allied nations.  The AN/ALQ-131's architecture can expand to provide additional features such as missile warning and reconnaissance.  The system can be reprogrammed on the flight line and offers greater than 125 hours mean time between maintenance actions.  A multifunctional self-protection system, the AN/ALQ-131 is well suited to today's challenges and adaptable to tomorrow's threats....
