First off, yes it was a bomb. Best I can tell it was a basic dumb bomb. Possibly a Mark84. But lets not focus on the dropping of the bomb. Lets focus on just how amazing the whole of the video is. I'll admit I don't much care for hurting people, but I try to see this video as being out in the sky. Pulling G's and feeling alive. I am perfectly jealous. I would love to fly in a 'Magic F-18'. I used to hat this damn song because ford kept using it in it's commercials. This video redemed it.
The F-18 was designed to destroy things, and dropping ordnance was one of them. Those that ignore that aspect and admire the plane solely because it does fancy acrobatics are lying to themselves. I strongly doubt the engineers at Boeing had your childhood dreams of 'soaring gracefully with the birds' in mind when designing this airplane. You can be against war, but don't take a weapons platform and turn it into an object it was not intended to be. I say all this with the utmost respect.
Alright, I'm going to get a string of immature replies thrown my direction, but oh well.
All you people who are "anti war" are extremely ignorant. If America was anti war, there wouldn't be America. Terrosist would walk all over us and remove our freedom. And all you people who hate the military are stupid, you probably wouldn't be alive without the military, so you should be kissing the ground they walk on. No one likes war, or its results, but sometimes, to preserve life, you must take life
The US has the right to defend itself. We are entitled to have well trained military and it would be stupid to now have it. People who are weak are overtaken and forced to speak arabic or chinese.
Yes every country has the right to defend itself but i wouldnt call family's being able to have machine guns and hand guns with out licences defending them selfs that is what the military is for. you say it is for the greater good and it supposobly makes your country the best in the world and im an aussie if u want peace come to our country and we all respect each other.
Looks like he was dropping out of date stores as they are on a jolly over the sea? or theres a test range out there???? didn't seem to line up on anything just dropped it?
Excellent! Nice to get the feeling of the closeness inside, would like to have heard perhaps the sky or outside jet noises, perhaps just a slight sound, overall fantastic, awesome,,,and it rocked! thanks for putting it up..
Perfect!

Most people are anti war for sure. Even when we should be at war.
Anyhow we should all have one of these to play around in! Minus the weapons of course. ;-)

The pilots change in the video
One guy seems to be slick (no loadout)
One guy has wingtip AIM-9's and another has what appear to be a JDAM 500pounder on his left wing
crasskicksfukinass 4 years ago
Dont think its a JDAM because its too small. More along the lines of a Mk 82 or a practice bomb.
StringfellowHawke71 4 years ago
Mk 82 sounds about right
