It does seem highly unlikely that there were 29 wings of G/Hs. Boyne says that
peak inventory of AGM-28 was 593 weapons. At two per a/c, that would seem a bit
excessive for just the G/H fleet of 295 a/c, assuming that a certain number
wouldn't be serviceable/available at any time. Anyone got a photo of an
operational tall-tail with Hound Dog?

Fairchild had Hound Dogs when we were there TDY from Glasgow around
64/65. Everything I can find says Fairchild had Ds then. I don't
remember the model numbers though. Just a one time thing I remember
watching from a distance as they loaded what looked like a white 5
gallon can near the nose of the missile. Think it was during an ORI so
it was out on the flightline. I have no memory of going to the alert
area though and seeing a lot of planes loaded with missiles..
