Default MK17 bomb moved to Strategic Air Command monument site at former Carswell AFB

The largest thermonuclear bomb ever built has been placed at the SAC
monument site under construction at NAS Fort Worth JRB.

This move brings the monument site near to completion with only bricklaying
and one plaque remaining.

The monument team needs to sell only 50 more bricks to purchase and install
one additional plaque. If you would like to help, see www.sacmonument.org
for details.

Now that is big! I guess the Mk17 might have been a little too large for
Slim Pickens to saddle for his ride to glory

I'm not sure about that. It was from the right time period.
