Marcel111 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Bi guys, any pics or other evidence out there of Navy F-4s carrying Mk84s, esp during Vietnam? If loaded, they would typically be outboard, correct? I‘ve seen AF F-4s with Mk84‘s outboard. Thx, Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Hegedus Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think USN or USMC Phantoms could carry any bombs directly on the pylons- they had to have either a MER or TER installed to hang bombs as the pylons themselves didn't have bomb racks in them. The MER/TER were hard-mounted to an adapter bolted to the bottom of the pylon. So, no, since a MER or TER could only carry stores that used 14" lug spacing, they could not put a MK-84 there since those bombs have a 30" lug spacing.

Finn Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The only place would be on the c/l for Navy/Marine F-4s. You could have Mk-83s on MERs or TERs. Jari Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
