    Hound Dogs and BUFFs

    I used to nurse the fond belief that only the B52G and H versions carried Hound Dog missiles and that they were only loaded in the "silver era". Thanks to the Internet it turned out that the Dog served well into the 70s and so was carried by SIOP scheme B52s. An example is shown here...

    Maverick Longhorn

    "Longhorn" has been proposed to include a turbofan engine in a lengthened AGM-65F airframe. This version would be 3.35 m long and could have a range of about 75 km. Mid-course guidance would be inertial with GPS, while IIR or active MMW radar terminal seekers could be used.

The program began as a TRDI program in...

    Like every airplane, the Hughes Kaiser Model 1 (AKA Hercules AKA Spruce Goose, Howard forgiving) passed through a series of concepts before his design being frozen. So, behold. The concepts were numbered from 1 to 7 (the "good" one) and you can notice influences from a number of famous seaplane...
