Mizar Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 For the A-10 is possible to load two GBU-31 on station 7 & 5 or they have a clearance and weight limit with nearby wing stations center of gravity and whatever? For USAF F-5E and F-5A what kind of rocket pods were cleared for wing stations? Luigi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Is it possible, absolutely. Is it probable, probably not. No idea on the F-5 question, sorry. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Thanks Steve Asked about the possibility due this and also because in the past there it was a discussion regarding two MER fully loaded with Mk82 and someone said that the weight limit for those stations didn't allowed even a Mk84 to be loaded Luigi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Finn Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) I don't think the USAF ever used the F-5 in the ground attack role, other than in Vietnam with the early version. However there is this which lists the various weapons the F-5E could use: http://www.avialogs.com/index.php/en/aircraft/usa/northrop/f-5tigerii/to-1f-5e-34-1-1-f-5e-f-tiger-ii-aircrew-nonnuclear-weapons-delivery-manual-to-1f-5e.html the weapons were probably same for the A version.

GW8345 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 According to the ASIM the station that the GBU-31 in the pic posted Mizar has a weight limit of 3500 lbs. ASIM - Aircraft Stores Interface Manual AOP-12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
