 What is the text in the white circles? Pawel Mankowski Markings on the canopy are stickers (think they were an overall silver color). The Rectangular one reads: Caution (in red letters) plastic canopies scratch easily. Clean only with water and/or approved cleaner. See Handbook on maintenance instructions or AN(#) The square one reads: Caution (centered red letters) See handbook on maintenance Instructions before tightening Screws on plexiglas. Cracking may result. The text is all caps. The text below the star was associated with the canopy release which usually had the "text" canopy release below it. All caps, white text as it was on the blue background. The text below the side number 36 reads: Disconnect electrical wiring before removing nose. Again black lettering, all caps. Don't know about the one on the nose, although I've also seen the "remove elect wiring" warning in that location. Gary Verver. What Gary has said makes sense, except for the lettering below the "36," which refers to the static source plate below the lettering. From a photo in my file (see below), I can zoom in and it appears to say; "INSTRUMENT STATIC SOURCE," then below that it says; "DO NOT ????? OR PAINT". I can't read the one word, but it seems to have 4 or 5 letters. The same text would also on the other side, above the static source plate (referred to in my A-4C/L NATOPS as "Static orifice"). From the same photo, the statement on the nose, was located just above the nose release mechanism on the starboard side and is probably the text mentioned by Gary concerning disconnecting the electrical wiring. I can't read the statement, but can clearly see a red "CAUTION" above the statement in another cropped photo. On the port side, it is most likely below the release lever as shown in the photo you sent, Pawel, which would have been done because the brake fluid viewing window is above the nose release lever.
