![]() "Kirk Stant" wrote in message om... Very little chance of actually seeing AGM-65s on the F-15E, since they can only be carried on the wing pylons, and if the preferred AGM-65G is carried, only one on each station. Since that takes up two of the external fuel tank stations, it't not a very good tradeoff compared to 2 JDAMs or WCMDs on the same stations. But it is an approved and cleared weapon, and might be loaded for a specific target type. It is possible to carry 6 of the AGM-65A, B, D, or H, 3 on each side on LAU-88 triple rail launchers on stations 2 and 8 (the wing pylons). AGM-65Gs are heavier, so only one can be carried on each side on a LAU-117 single-rail launcher. AGM-65 cannot be loaded on the CFTs. AGM-130s (and the similar GBU-15) are also only carried on stations 2 and 8; they cannot be loaded on the CFTs. When these weapons are used, normally an AXQ-14 or ZSW-1 data link pod is carried on the centerline station (station 5). The DLP is needed to control the AGM-130 or GBU-15 after launch. The F-15E is a neat fighter, lots of good systems, excellent radar, pretty good legs, and a two man crew. Too bad we didn't build a lot more of them! Kirk Thank you!!! I think I have understood it, but I need to confirm. Reading your message and flying an F15E-229 in a simulator (F15E in Falcon4 ![]() set of an old F15E flight manual, which contains info on sidewinders, sparrows, GBU24,10, BLU107, Mk84/82, some CBUs and so on. So I want to ask additional questions. Can AIM120s be loaded on stations 2 and 8? and two of them each? If so, can F15e carry 8 of them at once ?(2 on stations 2,8 each and 2 on bilateral CFTs each) And when you load 5 smart weapons, no missiles can be loaded, right? How many *light* JDAMs (I mean GBU-32,35) can be loaded? and where? How many GBU-22s can be loaded? and where? When you load 2 AGM-130s, can any other bombs or sparrows be loaded on CFTs? I've heard AGM-130 is very heavy and its drag factor is high. I need details for simulator..... Thank you in advance!! -Tetsuji Rai |
