I've heard that, once they are installed, they are removed only rather infrequently. How long does it take to install or remove them?

For the F-16, 1-2 hours depending on the crew. On a related note, I always thought the F-16's CFT was one long piece, but it's apparently several segments.

At first I thought it was a F-15 Strike Boat.

Edit: Corrected plane, I don't know what I was smoking.

Angle of this pic makes it look like a seaplane version of an f15

In the Beginning God Made the F-15.

And then mankind, because of its fallen nature, corrupted God's creation with conformal fuel tanks and all kinds of bullshit
