Salute!

Well, Pontius and others, we now get to see how good the new plane's computed delivery systems work with those rusty old dumb bombs. The last, mostly uncontested air bombing fracas of my generation was Vietnam in the south and most of Laos away from The Trail.

The A-7D and USN A-7 E "scored" CEP by the FAC's and grunts was about 15 meters for the MK series of GP bombs (see various Corona Harvest docs). I would bet we see about the same now, depending on thier release altitudes. Problem is aiming with the human eye. If the "system" and fin assemblies on the bombs have about a 6 mil dispersion,then add that to your Mk 1 eyeball.
