Alternative 4 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I'm guessing the Skyhawk pilot didn't get out ok Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 That's a great clip...pity about the Skyhawk pilot though. Talk about wrong place at the wrong time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hegedus Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I'm guessing the Skyhawk pilot didn't get out ok Both the pilot and the photographer in the back seat got out OK. The photog just retired a couple years ago. He'd picked up a call sign from that episode; "Fireball"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I ask because the F-15E still deploys the AGM-130 and some F-111's still used the external tanks before retirement. I understand in some cases there are restrictions placed on release speed and weapon loading positions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
