Aren't bombs supposed to need 1,000 feet of free-fall before the fuse will work?

I don't think they'd need to explode for a 250-1000 lb piece of falling iron and high explosives to destroy an aircraft :lol

no they have to travel 1000 feet though the air. So if you are going say lvl going 275 they might only fall few feet vertically before they arm.
