Fuel drop tanks were normally carried on the inboard two stations, leaving two stations available for ordinance on each wing. There was a 7.62mm rotary gun in the right nose, and the a/c was capable of in flight air refueling. The 169 TASS was qualified for FAC operations, close air support, and was always current on air refueling in case of activation by the USAF.
