| #21 During GWI, our carrier's Morale Suppression Squad made us discontinue the practice of writing on bombs hung on the trusty Intruder soon to be delivered. No good reason was given, but I later found out the head of the MSS was a Hornet driver so I think there was a little Delivery Envy there ( 26K of bombs vs. 9) |

| #11 I've seen one that makes me giggle. On the bottom of the bomb they wrote, "Bad guy goes here" |

| #9 And whats best, no radioactive fallout to deal with. That's American ingenuity. In WWII, the Air Force use to write on the ordinance before dropping them. I image they probably did it in the later wars too. Sarcastic suggestions as to what to write are on these puppies welcomed. |

| #7 woid problem: with a strap on solid fuel rocket pack. 30,000 lbs + plus rocket pack. Dropped from 50,000 feet, terminal velocity @ ground, 2000 thousand MPH [rocket assist]. 13607.7711 kilos 4473.88 m/s velocity Kinetic Energy @ ground-pound point = 136,183,866,953.2596 Joules. [not counting explosive] 140 grn bullet moving at speed of 1000 ft per second = 40 Joule [way approx] 1 foot pound = 1.3558179 Joule 1 joule = 0.000947817 Btu proof math.. mathBhard I forgot the question. |

| #6 It's called the "Massive Ordnance Penetrator," or "MOP" for short. Gives a whole new meaning to the term "mopping up." |

| #5 Wonder how much of it is explosives. The 5,000 pound GBU-28 is only 630 pounds of tritonal, the rest is iron. |

| #3 The US Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) announced on 15 March the successful test of a 30,000 lb (13,600 kg) conventional bomb, which is designed to destroy hardened underground facilities. This one's for you, Mahmoud, baby. |
