AGM-28 Hound Dog

The North American Aviation Corporation AGM-28 Hound Dog was a supersonic, jet powered, air-launched cruise missile. The Hound Dog was initially given the designation B-77, later re-designated GAM-77, and finally being designated AGM-28. Hound Dog was originally envisioned as a temporary stand off weapon for the B-52, to be used until the AGM-48 Skybolt air launched ballistic missile could be deployed. Instead the Skybolt was canceled and the Hound Dog was deployed for 15 years until the missile was replaced by newer weapons including the AGM-69 SRAM and the AGM-86 ALCM.

I was in training for the guidance system on this Missile from 1963 to 1964 (52 weeks of training) before being stationed at Turner AFB just outside of Albany, Ga. Joined the service to go overseas and I had a choice of ... Oops strike that they had a choice of sending me to one of 28 different bases in the continental US. LOL
