phantom Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 True, but the F-105 DID knock down a few Migs in its day. (not as many as the CF-105 might have................he he) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Roof Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I just got the goods on the shooter. Working on trying to get photos of the jet and the complete ordnance configuration. No guarantee that I'll get it, or that I'll get it before anyone else, but the wheels are definitely in motion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vaildog Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 .6 miles and you cant get a kill with your first shot? Should have gone to guns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unlike in training..sometimes a weapon released well within launch guidelines can still go stupid and fail to hit the target. Any number of things can happen..it could have failed to track mid course, it could have been spoofed, passed within lethal distance but failed to detonate..any number of things.
