Tom Cooper:
Sounds interesting. Sorry for my ignorance: what exactly is the AAD-5? An IRST? It's an IR detector system, two bands. |

Dave - Thanks for your technical question concerning our bombs. Large rock will do the job, but only if it's a left-handed rock. These rocks can be pruchased through DoD contract for a mere $600. Regards, SPLORK I didn't get it on my keyboard, but there is coffee running down my shirt and all over my pants. Thanks. d;o) |

"Charlie Wolf" wrote in message ... Yes - I can help. The preferred method for testing aircraft bombs is to get yourself a really big hammer - 8 lb. ball-pean type hammer should work. Walk up to the bomb and strike it just as firmly as you can on the pointy end - thats the opposite end from the fins. Do this repeatedly until you here Allah telling you the bomb is OK to use. Then go to the next bomb and repeat. http://www.jenn98.com/bugs/1943-6.html |

Their F-4Ds were delivered between 1968 and 1970 so are now actually between 34 and 35 years old. Some 15 have survived the war with Iraq, and remain very much in service. In fact, instead of GBU-10s they are now armed with indigenious Iranian Sattar-1/2/3 laser-guided missiles (a mix of (US) GBU-10 and (French) AS.30L technology), the Noor (an Iranian version of the 160km-range C.802K-2 anti-ship missile, directly comparable in capabilities to the Harpoon), and R-73/AA-11 Archer air-to-air missiles (the last in addition to the usual Sparrows)... Tom, I hope everyone else will forgive me for approaching this from a modellers point of view, but a Phantom with a mix of Archer and Sparrow missiles sounds like a must-build to me. Are there pictures showing how these are carried either on the web or in one of the books you mention? Thanks Rob |

There is nothing of this kind on the internet, Rob: some first photos might be published in a specific publication in December, but I can't definitely confirm or deny this yet.

I will (another one of my regular haunts). However, I prefer a paper reference to a plastic one; you wouldn't believe some of the ordinance loads that end up on kits occasionally. Rob |

Rob If you want a paper reference, you might try Google and spell the word ordnance and not the improper ordinance which is a legal term. Tex |
