JSF TC,

Quick re-attack. Can I challenge your fact that one could jettison FA2 AMRAAM?

My challenge is based on the jettison panel only having pads for the five weapon stations excluding the gun pod racks - vertically in line with the selector switches for the pylons themselves, which were below.

The ‘Clear Aircraft Bar’ punched them all at once.

The guns were switched on with switches to the left.

How would one have jettisoned a missile without a switch that did so?

I also recall the second easiest Question of the Day: How do you jettison an AMRAAM? Answer: You can’t.

I standby to be corrected! I don’t suppose you have ACM or FRCs? I can only find the Tac FRCs and they don’t refer.

I did enjoy re-discovering the GR7/9 sidewinder jettison drill:

Master Mode: A/A
Late Arm: Live
Trigger: Pull Sequentially
