The convergent section communicates with the augmentor on one end and with the divergent section on the opposite end. The end of the divergent section opposite that attached to the convergent section is pivotly attached to the external fairing. The divergent section includes a plurality of divergent flaps and divergent flap seals circumferentially spaced. The apparatus for sealing between the external fairing and the divergent section attaches to the divergent flaps and divergent flap seals and mates with the external fairing.
