Mitch,

Looking at that perfect "stick" of bombs dropping, what causes the few
strays that appear out in front of the main drop?

They are from another Buff that is out of the picture, IIRC
If you look carefully at the picture, you can see external stores. My
guess is that the bombs in question came from there.



The external stores seem to all in place, no empty racks.

The B52D carried two external stores pylons, each pylon carried 2 "mers"
each mer(multiple ejection racks) carried 6 bombs. most of these would
be unseen from the angle the picture was taken.
