I saw photo. I would gladly take 14 Rockets instead of rockets and bombs

That picture was from stateside trials testing the use of 14 (7 under each wing) HVAR rockets but wasn't used operationally as it was decided to go with the Christmas tree launcher with 5 HVAR rockets under each wing.

Interesting photo.

I am still hoping for three 500s under each wing and 75 gal drop tanks.  If a frog had wings . . .
