Hmmmmm..... the plane as Sexxay you say?
But then again the Chilton DH1 is a gorgeous little pre-war art deco bird, and I already have a set of plans for her.....

At Mt Home AFB I saw a Photo of an Ardvark (F-111) with 5 M-61 Vulcan gun pods mounted. It was of course a photo op only. The ammo guys said it would tear off the mounts to fire them all at once from vibration. When it was first deployed with the Ardvarks, a rear mount broke tipping the barrel up & shot the nose off the bird.  :confused:

The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

One of my favorite approaches, right over that hotel.  Often wondered what it must be like to be in a room on the top floor on the south side.
