... In message m, David E. Powell writes Thanks! I hadn't known about the 2.75 rockets, sounds like the F-94 Scorpion. The Falcon must have been a decent missile, the -106s and other fighters used them into the 80s and early 90s. No, it sucked really badly (less than 5% Pk in Vietnam, although against fighters at low level with some hostile factors) but it was a low priority for replacement or enhancement. Whoa - Considering how long they served I would have thought the opposite. Maybe it was felt they had better odds against bombers. Or there was some sort of upgrade by the '80s. Considering alot of ANG fighters that escorted bombers up and down the seacost in the Cold War carried them. I wonder if GWB ever flew with the nuclear version....? DEP Maybe that's why the F-106 got a cannon.... -- When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite. W S Churchill Paul J. Adam MainBoxatjrwlynch[dot]demon{dot}co(.)uk |
