Hello!

Good to see this thread back - it's very useful! Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

Well this thread has been quiet for a few months, so I'll give it a bit of a boost with another great mud mover, the A-7...

Iron Hand loadout AGM-45 Shrikes and SUU-30 CBUs (plus AIM-9Ds) in 1968 during the A-7's first combat deployment

Snakes... a lot of snakes... 16 X Mk.82 Snakeye HDGPs and 2x AIM-9Ds

1983, USS Independence took A-7s in harms way twice, Grenada and Lebanon. Here armed up with Mk.20 Rockeyes and a FLIR pod

and in her final USN combat colors in 1991, again with Mk.20 Rockeyes, AGM-88 HARMs, and AIM-9L Sidewinders...

That's exactly why I started this thread! One has to sift thru a bunch of photos just to find decent shots of actual armed operational warbirds!

Hello!

A nice idea, operational photos aren't so easy to come by on the net! Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

Another 1991 Desert Storm CAS load, on one of my favorite birds, teh A-10

2 x TER w/6 CBU-58s, a pair of AGM-65D Mavericks, another pair of AIM-9L/M sidewinders, and an ECM pod

CC, that one is a classic!

Here is another Hornet from 1991. 3 x Mk.83 or Mk.84 AIRs, a couple drop tanks and a FLIR pod. and of course the obligatory Sidewinders.

I couldn't resist adding this one, though I'm sure many have already seen it!

It was mounted on an A-1 Skyraider.

I like that P-47 loadout 

Here's a 1991 equivalent. Great stuff for close air support 5x Mk.20 Rockeyes, plus drop tanks and a pair of Sidewinders just in case any bad guys come to tussle.

If your building an F-15E this site provides typical loadouts for the operations the mudhen has been called to do what it does best.

I like this one. As if Typhoons and P-47's with 8 .50s isn't enough to disturb your ground war! "prehistoric" CBU's on a P-47.

Great idea for a thread SP, I look forward to seeing what people come up with.
