Really interesting thread on unusual loads on (primarily) aircraft

Really interesting thread on unusual loads on (primarily) aircraft.  When some JMN says, "that's not realistic" this thread may have the photo to prove them wrong!

This one might make the JMNs go "Nope.  Not realistic"

Wow great thread over there ! I'm only on page 3 and I've been there 10 minutes !

Great shot of the Voodoo as well.

Yep, great link Rickshaw, thanks for posting.  Highlights for me:

F-15 with a Falcon (why bother?)

F-4 Phantom with a Phoenix, intersting trial pod it is mounted in.

Huey with the slick bombs

A-5 Vigilante with wing mounted nuke shapes (B-43?) and AGM-12 missiles.

A-4 Skyhawk with a Harpoon on the centerline.

Romanian River gunboat.  New one for me.

Love this one here:



NO idea what the third swimmer is about (maybe cargo?), but it IS weird!

Perhaps they needed a replacement float for another aircraft stranded elsewhere? The third float looks way too big at first glance but then you realise it's the same as the other two.
