Regarding jettison of Air to Ground munitions, it takes as many steps (switch actions) to jettison them as it does to drop dem on a target.
That flies in the face of the safety brief I got when I bagged a back seat Harrier trip in Germany. I was shown an unguarded strip of switches/buttons, bottom left of the instrument panel (yellow and black framing them?) and told that pressing them would jettison everything hanging under the jet. Was that wrong?
