Take a look at http://www.swf.usace.army.mil/FUDS/5...specs/anmk.PDF Bill Kambic That's what we used at Nellis in 1954 when I was checking out in the F86F. CRS about how it was hung on the bird. A 12 gauge shotgun shell full of blackpowder was the spotting charge. No idea why they went to BDU33s except maybe to match the Snakeye bombs' ballistics. Walt BJ |

Walt BJ Thanks for the good info. I'm guessing that this was used by both the Navy and AF, probably 1940s to 1950s. This particular bomb most likely came from Melrose range in New Mexico, so it is probably AF. Cannon AFB flew F-86s and then F-100s from 1952 (when the range was built) until 1969, when they switched to F-111s. I'm guessing that this type of bomb was phased out by the time the Aardvarks started using the range. So there is a good chance that this one was dropped by an F-86. Cool stuff. Boelke |
