.45-70 for Bears
I believe there was an idea flying around at one time of using a B52 as an "Arsenal Bird" they could carry 66 AIM120 AMRAAMs And then they would use another data linked aircradt like an AWACS bird to feed data to the B52 for targetting. By comparison a F15 carries something like 8 AMRAAMs tops.I was thinking AIM-120. Or AA-12 for the irony.

Wasn't the quote "we're going to need a bigger boat "?
Awesome the newer AIM120D is quite impressive.There was a time when Raytheon’s answer to everything was “”AMRAAM”.

Except the A10, of course.
Happened to me on Monterey Bay while in a 25 ft sailboat. It gets your attention - big MF.
