Salute!
Never thot of the 747 release configuration too much. I was just thinking about total payload by the beast. So maybe another big platform... hmmmmm. C-5? Maybe DC-10 or L-1011. Internal carraige, then push the suckers out the ramp.
Our new 130's here at Hurlburt can easily load a handful of SDB's and/or Hellfire missiles. And they are now configuring to do so. They just have to have a reasonable threat environment. Plus, they have practiced pushing the MOAB and others of it ilk out the ramp ( saw the second test from about 5 miles to the nortrh)
Gums sends...
