If you're as big a fan of Military gadgets and weaponry, you'll appreciate this. Take the time and watch the video...
The commentary is a little lame - it almost sounds
robotic, but it's still an interesting vid. Enjoy...

Not a bad vid, but there’s some glaringly bad info on there. I worked on Hawgs for damn near 18 years. Internal gas capacity is 11,400 pounds, not gallons. 10,000 gallons would be 66,700 pounds. The max gross weight for the thing is 51,000. It’ll do 420 knots, maybe, with nothing hanging off it, an empty gun and a very light fuel load. The flight control surfaces, flaps, wing leading edge panels & engine nacelle doors are honeycomb, all the rest is standard airframe construction. It’s pretty hollow though, or the older ones in the 80’s & 90’s were, at least. Can’t speak to the upgraded C model as I only worked the A version.
ReplyDeleteIt saved my bacon several times. It is still a cool video. Thanks Joe.
