You are cruel ksimboy, I'm sure it's not true that they had to flag Rosy Rhodes as a result of having to offload fuel to accommodate the weight of the operating crew.
just been re reading the magazine reference from Coffs first post, I suppose the very source of this thread. It covers many nations Alberts, in various shapes and sizes. I was fortunate to get a trip on an 8th SOS gunship during a det. to Hurlbert many moons ago. I have always wondered why the RAF didn't find a need for the beast. During that det we also got introduced to the MOAB, and we're reminded that 8th SOS lost a crew, delivering one of these massive weapons over Kuwait during GW1. Having spent more than 5000 hours of flight in our own Albert, I wonder if the RAF ever looked seriously at using the aircraft in an offensive mode ? Any thoughts chaps?
