I can get better at this. Could this be just a little tougher?

It was the combination of missles (IR Falcons and FFAR) and rockets that kind of gave it away, only a few aircraft used a pod like that (okay one) but all of them were pre-century series fighters iirc. I actually had to look up which one of the early interceptors/fighters carried those weapons.

That would be correct, Rich. The Scorpion is the only US aircraft that I am aware of that had the capability to carry missiles in wingtip pods like that, or at least the GAR-1/2 and FFAR. The F-94 had a pod on each wing for the FFAR, but it was just inboard of its tip tanks.

Seeing as how you are in the DFW area, I am going to go out on a limb and say that is the intake from the former LockMart Divertless Intake Testbed F-16 that was stored for many years outside the Fort Worth plant.
