The old Italeri 1/72 F-16C/D Night Falcon included the LANTIRN pods, I think. But, that was a long ago kit... Tom

Thanks, Kursad! Tom

It's the one with the fin and attachment point at the back. I'm pretty sure the attachment point helps swing the tank nose down before the tank releases and thus avoids airframe and tank contact. I think... Just checked on Hobby Search and it's P19 and P20 on the Egyptian 1 scheme. The earlier tank just has a straight and level pylon on the tank (I think it's a Royal tank). Tom

Thanks Gator52 and Quiote74 for the additional info! I don't have either of those books, so I just didn't know. Tom

The 42nd bomb Wing at Loring AFB, ME was Harpoon capable, I believe. I'm not sure another wing was. Yeah, I don't remember seeing many pictures of a B-52 with Harpoons loaded. Tom

Although the G could carry 12 Harpoons, my understanding is that they ended up carrying only 8 most of the time. Not sure why, though. Tom

And Lightning II, the F-35..

And same here, Paul!

And I'll bet the new skipper has to watch his head a lot on board...

Now onward and upward.

Bravo Zulu, Commander Grogan!

Best wishes in your new assignment or life change, as the case may be! And yes, thank you for serving, especially in such a demanding role. Tom

How effective is Regeneron versus the vaccines? I'd rather have a two time shot than keep taking meds, personally.

I had my first Pfizer shot Monday and had a sore arm, but was fine Tuesday. I get my second 29 March. Even if I'm down for a day after the second one, not getting sick is well worth it to me.
