Air one Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hi, This load is not known to have been used like this in real life operation... Look like more a museum display... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bushande Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Air One is correct. However: A mix of A/G (Rockeyes) and A/A, i.e. AIM-54 on the center rail had been aproved and in use at least during the late nineties as documented on VF-11 and -31 Deltas as well as VF-211 and -213 Alphas. Hence, though I haven't seen an AIM-54 / LGBU combo on a center rail yet, if you like that one, just hit it. This is just an example to illustrate the claim in general: http://www.topedge.com/alley/images/f14d/f14d31gb.htm http://www.topedge.com/alley/images/f14d/f14d31de.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GW8345 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 That is not a legal load, the bomb on the left belly station (Station 3R) is a GBU-31(v)4 JDAM, the F-14 was never cleared to carry the GBU-31(v)4 JDAM, only the GBU-31(v)2 variant (and on their last cruise the GBU-38(v)2). If the bomb was a GBU-31(v)2 it would be a legal load but I've never seen a load like that carried. GW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
