EagleAviation Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I embarked the carrier just three days after the shoot-down. This is the configuration you are looking for. Furball sheet is correct however just for the history they were not using the AIM-120C but the latest version the AIM-120D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GW8345 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The Furball load out is accurate, the information came from official expenditure reports, the AIM-120 used was a AIM-120C variant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I cannot argue on that. However all the AMRAAMs on board CVN-77 three days after the event were AIM-120D variant. I walked all around the deck and didn't see a single AIM-120C not that it makes a difference on the model! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

After the encounter there was a concerned about increased air threat so the CAG up'ed it's air to air posture, hence the new AIM-120D's being loaded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
