- In the 1991 edition of HIGH-TECH WARFARE by Richardson, Gunston, and Hogg
- on page 38 is a picture of an A-6 in flight with a AGM-109 under its wing!
-
- The AGM-109 is the air-launched version of the BGM-109 Tomahawk.
-
- Since the missile is painted red with black panels on the nose and tail,
- I would guess this is some kind of test flight with a protype or such.
-
- Curiously, NO air-to-air weapons such as the AIM-9 appear, even though some
- ex-A6 jocks on the net have said that they have had Sidewinders mounted on
- their aircraft.
-
- See ya!
