NorgeNate Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 I noticed this was modeled wrong in the video Wags just posted recently. When jettisoning the external wing tanks the tank and pylon separate as one unit. The centerline is opposite in that it separates from a pylon that is bolted to the keel. Both wing and centerline tanks separate with the nose of each tank being pulled down via gravity and air flow pivoting on the pivot fittings at the rear of the tanks. These pivot fittings help prevent inadvertent contact with the aircraft after jettison. Put very simply.
