|Do you really believe a fighter will carry 60,000 pounds of ordnance or
is
|that a typo?
Yes, I checked that out. It is the small dia. bomb, not the
larger.

I read that as 30 x's 250 pounds = 7500 pounds. If you really think a
fighter airframe, even modified as described, is capable of hauling 30 TONS
of ordnance ... well, I've got this bridge I'm trying to sell and ....

FYI the B-52 (rather larger than any F-22 derivative is likely to be) is
advertised to carry up to 70,000 pounds of ordnance.
