"Jeb Hoge" wrote in message om... "Susan VanCamp" wrote in message link.net... Its been many moons since I fired a rocket (most inventories got combat coded due to limited #s years ago), but... ...it was a Zuni pod at night, on the goggles -- ya-bleeping-hoo! When fired in singles or small numbers, 2.75s always sounded like bottle rockets (from the cockpit). Zunis were an entirely different animal. A technical question for those that might know -- refresh my aging memory -- isn't the Zuni motor the same as that used on the Sidewinder...? Originally, I'm pretty sure Sidewinder was designed using Zuni bodies and motors. Nope. The Zuni burn time was very short, perhaps 1 second. SW was at least 5. I've fired both from fuselage pylons on the F-8. The Zuni approximated a freight train speeding past your head with about 6 inches clearance. R / John
