Hey AK we miss ya over at WT :-)

I thought all AF fighters had the trigger dedicated to the gun, and that
Navy fighters fired selected weapons with the trigger. Am I way off here or
is it always "personal preferance" ?

ALL fighter aircraft worked this way (for missiles, though
not for rockets in later machines).


Not sure what you mean here.

Interceptor rocket attacks had the firing signal coming from the weapons
computer when in the "full up" mode...but the AIM-9 was hot once the

Master
Arm was armed. Press the pickle button and that puppy was gone, tone or no
tone, lock or no lock. In the 104, we used the trigger to fire the

heaters.
