dsahling Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 So I'm planning to do a F-16C Block 50 out of Spangdahlem from OIF/OEF I was curious about a weapons loadout from this time period. Does anyone know what the loadouts from the Spangdahlem F-16s were then? Would 2x AGM-65D and 2x CBU-103(7)? in addition to the 2x AIM-120 and 2x AIM-9, 2x gas bags, 1x jammer? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EagleAviation Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Mavericks were mostly used by the Navy and Marines jets or A-10s. Spang jets were usually operating with 3 AIM-120s, 1 AIM-9, 2 AGM-88B, 2 gas bags and the ALQ-131 on the centerline pylon Alternatevely of the HARMs GBU-31 JDAMs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Here are a pair, one with CBUs and the other with a JDAM and CBU: Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 We only loaded CBU's for a week and a half at the beginning of OIF, the CBU's were considered "inhumane" by NATO. sTEVE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F-16 Weapons Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hello all, I was at Balad Air Base in 2007 with two ANG units with Spang and Misawa swapping out during that time frame. I saw no Mavericks but did routinely see a TER on the left (Station 3) with a slant loadout of outboard GBU-12 and bottom loaded GBU-12 then a BRU-57 with two GBU-38s on the right (Station 7). Spang arrived with HARMS I believe but quickly moved to precision guided bombs pretty quickly. Hope this helps. Pat Green, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
