Will2K65 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Am just wondering whether the USMC has started using the GBU-32 on its Harrier and carrier-borne Hornet fleet? I have a pair of bombs from the Academy F-22 and think that with the ablative coating they'd look good on either the Harrier or the Hornet. Was just wondering if these weapons are actually in use on these two aircraft, as I have yet to see pictures of this weapon loaded on either, and also on what stores stations they are likely to be carried. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! GBU-32 was quite frequently carried on Hornets during the early days of OIF/OEF. There are quite a few pictures of Hornets carrying them on www.navy.mil - just search for F/A-18 and look in the 2003 time frame. They are typically carried on stations 2, 7, and 8 (most of the time only one.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reddog Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 F-18A+ = Stations 2, 3, 7 and/or 8. Av-8B = Stations 2, 3 5, and/or 6. Reddog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
