@unclejimmy thanks very much for hosting this one.
It was a lot of fun 🙂

@oriskany one of the few things I remember hearing about was that they only had missiles on some of those jets.
Then again … nothing like a real world test to see if a plan works, eh ?
It does suck that people died as a result of what must have been one heck of a mistake.

I do wonder if there is a use for guns on modern jets though, because tech has advanced quite a bit since those early days.
Wiki says the F-35 only has a measily 180 rounds for its internal cannon (compared to the +/- 500 of the F-16).
That’s probably less than a second worth of ammo. *eep* That’s more like an emergency supply and less like an actual weapon to use in a fight.
