Default Whaddat?

We used to have a nuclear warhead-equipped CIM-10B Bomarc missile squadron
(No. 446 SAM Squadron) based just to the north of the city here (North Bay,
Ontario). We have a Bomarc on display downtown.

Although the picture gets quite grainy when blown up, it makes me believe
that it is indeed a Bomarc with the two Marquardt RJ43-MA-7 ramjets cutting.
After the 50,000 pound static thrust Thiokol XM-51 solid propellant
integral booster got the Bomarc going at a certain speed, the ramjets would
take effect.

Cheers...Chris
