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...

Good Day All -
From the collection of the late Mike Burke "The Artist", this is a engineer opportunities brochure with artwork that may be of interest. Guessing mid-'60s as the OH-6A first flew in 1963.

Hughes designed geosynchronous satellite optimised to study mesoscale phenomena such as tornados, squall lines and large convective systems. Had the satellite been built, the launch vehicle would have either been a Delta rocket or the Space Shuttle.

"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.
This was a program, possibly inspired by the B-1C and related proposals, to procure a number of P-3C based variants equipped with the AWG-9 Radar and the Phoenix missile (likely the AIM-54C ECCM/Sealed version), for the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force. The program began as a TRDI program in...

Hughes Aircraft Company XAAM-N-11 model with "Marine" markings found on ebay.
To my eye this looks different than the production AIM-54 Phoenix. Thoughts?

Concerned about the cost of Viking 1 & 2, NASA looked at lower cost alternatives for the 1977 & 1979 Mars launch opportunities . One of the proposed missions was to use a modified version of the Pioneer Venus Orbiter to carry six RTG powered penetrators to Mars.
Once the spacecraft entered...
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...
