Lockheed Aequare edit

(

...that the Aequare was a remotely piloted vehicle intended to be used by F-4 Phantom II fighter-bombers to find and designate targets?
Source: "a tactical vehicle for remote surveillance, target acqusition, and target designation...mounted beneath the other wing of the F-4 launch/relay aircraft." [1]

- new article, meets length criteria and citation backs up hook in stating what the vehicle would do. Maybe it needs 'Lockheed' re-adding in the name? It would be nice to have an image of the vehicle, but it does appear the only image is the one on this site which may or may not be PD as I guess it depends if it was taken by the USAF. Anyway, nice little article, good to go. Bob talk 14:29, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. If the promotor thinks the hook works better with the full link instead of the just-the-name piping, I'm fine with that. As for the photo...yeah, 'via Janes' photos would need the dead tree copy to check if they were USAF (and thus PD) or manufacturer (and thus probably not) photos, and my budget doesn't stretch to JAWA levels. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:32, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
