I had to recover that jet when they came home from DS2.

When gunship grey rolls out of paint, it has a sheen to it for a while. No Have Glass for Eagles.

Well this answers your question of 120's being carried. I'm 1000% sure 120's can only be carried on LAU-128's and LAU-106's.

What year was this photo taken? I've seen it a million times and never noticed the 120. 120's can ONLY be carried on LAU-128's, so in this picture, there's a 128 on the inboard. This pic COULD be from a post DS1 sortie too. Northern or Southern Watch.

Oh, those...sorry.

The ADU-552 is the adapter for our LAU-128’s.

I didn't fly the Eagle, I maintained her. But fortunately, I got a couple rides in the jet and one of them was along the low-level routes in the western part of the state. I have my HUD video of us climbing over the knob on Pilot Mountain (Mt Pilot for you Mayberry folks). So yes, there are a couple of low-level routes that snake that way just west of Raleigh and Greensboro.

Things may have changed since my time 94-03. When I left, we were still configing like that for the BFM portion of the syllabus.
-
The B-course is the "basic" course for pilots and WSO's new to the jet. During the first few weeks of training, we would config for strictly A/A before SA (surface attack) would start. 99.9% of the time Strikes in the standard combat "gun" squadrons would always carry pods. The FTU's would config for A/A w/out pods at the start of every course. In the 9 years I was at SJ, the 335th and 336th configured clean maybe once that I can remember. But normal ops is w/pods.
-
During the BFM portion of a "B-course", the jet is configured clean except the CATM-9/120.

Bill, I live over in Flower Mound if you still need those.
