signals Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 It looks like Popeyes..but can someone confirm? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marlin Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hi. They are Tadmit's, not Popeyes. Tadmit is a TV guided glidebomb. Avaliable in resin from Isradecal http://www.isradecal.com/?storeid=110&view=products&id=5475 /Bosse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gb_madcat_sl Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Actually, those look more like AGM-62 Walleyes. Mark Edited October 30, 2012 by gb_madcat_sl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brahio Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 AGM-62 Walleyes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrvark Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 More specifically, Walleye I Extended Range/Data Link (ER/DL) along with an AN/AWW-7 Data Link Pod on the right outboard station. BTW, the AGM-62 designation was assigned, but never used officially, except perhaps by the USAF to refer to Walleye Is, which were used by 8 FG coded F-4Ds during Vietnam.

Rex Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 the rear end of the fins, and the shape of the nose suggests that they are more likely Tadmits than Walleyes, the parts are much closer to the link than the posted photo of a Walleye Tadmit being an improved Israeli version of the Walleye, and seen on one of their aircraft, those shape differences make sense Quote Link to post Share on other sites
signals Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Interesting. So did IAF F-4s ever carry popeyes? If so....any images or loadout examples around? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yes, IAF Kurnasses carried Popeyes. They used a special longer inboard pylon and usually carried one under each wing and the data link pod under an outboard pylon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iaf-man Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Here's a Turkish F-4 in similar configuration http://2004.uploaded.fresh.co.il/2004/02/06/612580.jpg http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/aircraft-pictures/assets_c/2011/01/Kopyas%C4%B1%20phantoms%20with%20popeye's-thumb-560x354-110700.jpg http://www.hyperscale.com/features/2001/f4ejc_1.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
