The AGM-122 was an anti-radiation ground attack version designed for attacking enemy radar sites - cheap but not as effective as purpose built ARMs

Known as the 'Sidearm'.

Interesting pic and very timely too.. I'm half way through 'Sidewinder: Creative Missile Development at China Lake' book! Useful to see images to go with the descriptions of each variant that I read at lunch time today

Took a little digging...

9 December 1972- VF-92 F-4J 155743 landed aboard USS Constellation slightly left of center line, it caught the wire but veered left and headed off the deck, at this point crew - Lt. J. R. Brooke & Lt. G. B. Bastian - ejected and the Phantom ended up in the port catwalk. The crew were successfully recovered. The Phantom remained where it was until the USS Constellation (CV-64) returned to San Diego. Later converted to F-4S. To MASDC ( boneyard ) as 8F0200 Jul 30, 1985

All those B-36s...

I've posted that one before, the thing that fascinated me was the fence at the bottom made up of hundreds of 19ft B-36 propellers, probably about 650 of them. The biggest barbed wire fence in history

Wrong window bolts used during servicing.

Any guesses?

Clue: Just causing this damage to the Learjet cost four US Navy SEALs their lives.

There's a shattered airliner windscreen section on display within the Sywell airfield bar, Is it the one from that same BAC 1-11 incident?

Isn't that a birdstrike - or am I due a Whoosh Parrot (SWIDT?) ?

It's a guest beer in 'The New Inn', Great Limber. Other pubs too I would imagine. Could be a good game trying to find one!

In the same spirit of the BA5390, the "irish Luck": a partially ejected navigator in an A-6 Intruder. The guy survived!
