Hubert Boillot Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 No worry about the aerodynamics of rearward-facing bombs ... the pilots on-board will have a hard time starting the engines with the FOD-covers in place ...

BiggTim Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I saw the covers, too, but figured that might be normal if they're parked. I couldn't tell if the pilots were in the pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Clunkmeister Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 And the starboard main tire looks like it has maybe 5 lbs of air in it. Tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usmcski Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Aside from the obvious (rearward-loaded Mk 82s), the BSU-33 conical fins are nowhere near straight. They should be in a proper "X pattern" when viewed from the direct front or rear of the bomb... Semper Fi, Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
