A series of sonic booms would sure as hell wake up Pearl Harbor. Is a Beagle able to carry Harpoons? BTW I was one surprised 104 driver when my AIM9B growled nice and loud at a C47. Coming in from the portside low it had a good look at #1's exhaust stack. But then it was first conceived as a kamikaze-killer. IIRR, the very first a/c shot down by an AIM-9 in test (by Wally Schirra IIRC) was a Hellcat drone. And all those SAM-7s using uncooled seekers drove the piston-engined O-1s and O-2s (not to mention Spads), up to much higher altitudes in Vietnam in 1972, making their utility as FACs far less. Guy |
