A-10 and F-5 ordnance question


Recommended Posts

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?

Is it possible, absolutely. Is it probable, probably not.

No idea on the F-5 question, sorry.

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

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:

the weapons were probably same for the A version.
