Finn Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I wonder if they just tested it on the B-47 or planned to have it operational: http://postimg.org/image/9alnakodv/ More pics here: http://aviationarchives.blogspot.ca/2017/02/mcdonnell-gam-72-adm-20-quail-photos.html just ignore the ads.

Spruemeister Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I can't see how there would have been room to carry it operationally with weapons in the same bay. The 52 had room to spare. Rick L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In an article I linked to in another thread from a SAC weapons officer the B-52 carried weapons in the front part of the weapons bay with the back half either empty or loaded with Quails. Plus the Quail was entering service as the B-47 was phasing out. Regards, Murph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
