Tail Cone
The tail cone, the far aft center section of the plane, is the location of the dump mast. In emergency situations, a fuel dump switch could be opened by the pilot, dumping fuel overboard at a nominal rate of 2,500 pounds per minute. We used the fuel dump to reduce our gross weight quickly for optimum landing conditions.
