Still doesn't compare to the payload of an F-111 tho!!


Full load of Mk-82LD 500lb bombs...48 in total

ok thanks mate, great shot of the f 1 -11, i have good idea of the size of these buggers, many years ago , i got the job of transporting an over dimensional load of very expensive cargo , that was f 1-11 wings (one at a time) in a very sturdy wooden cases that took up a big area of a 40 ft trailer and hung over the sides , about the only time i`ve been near a jet in my life ...or part of .
