I was a backseat Navigator in some of the first F-4E's at Eglin, 1969-71. Many times on the range I counted down the altimeter: "TEN-four--NINE-four--EIGHT-four--SEVEN-four--SIX-four--FIVE-four--Pickle." and just about that fast. Several of the AC's would say: "Don't bother with 'Ready,' because I'm READY." Fortunately, the stick always came aft after bomb release, usually 6 or 7 G's worth. If it didn't, you'd have only a second or two to worry about it. We backseaters got into the act in other ways, but this was mostly the AC's show.
I was wondering what the backseaters did in these planes usually did. A skim through the weapons employment manual only got me the word "WSO" or "Pilot" twice, and once was in the glossary!
in 10:31 the man with black mustache and black hair is my uncle. The first group of Iranian Royal Airforce F-4 pilots trained in USA before the Islamic revolution.
I tried this in DCS with the F-5E, with 5 Mk-82s on an MER on the centerline pylon. Bullseye on a shipping container in the Nevada desert, first bomb! 😃Maybe some beginner's luck, but the concept seems to work. My next 4 bomb runs were off a bit, but better than I had been doing before. I got a couple of those close to the container. There is no flight path line indicator in the F-5E, but you can momentarily cage the sight to the ZSL. So, I would do that and put that approximately on the aim offset point (which I marked by placing a white shipping container about 900' from the red target container in Mission Editor. I was just going to practice the 45-deg dive angle. I just used all the numbers they had in this video. I gotta go try that again! I like the F-5E. It's so simple to operate. I gotta try this with the A-4E, too...see if it pretty much works on any jet aircraft in which the manual bombsight can be set to a depression angle.
This was filmed at George Afb , Victorville Ca. in the early 1970's. I was stationed there. At 22:27 the tail code is GA. 35th TFW crest on the right intake. When the radio says Cuddieback that was the drylake the base had their weapons range. It was due north of the base up us395 past the edwards afb turnoff at 4 corners. The base used 4 tail codes GA GB GC GD
@@hckyplyr9285 The WW came to the base when the F105G's rotated back to the US from Korat. All the 105 wild weasels ended up at George. I left there in early 74 and they we sending low time E models to be converted to G model.
You can go there today. I found a dummy 20mm round. There are huge bomb craters. Just east of Cuddeback Dry Lake. Mythbusters have filmed on the lakebed many times.
Thanks for info. It looked like California high desert. I was just down the road at Edwards and was assigned to the bombing range (PIRA). Knew it wasn't there. Puzzle solved...
That is pretty complicated. It looks so easy in the movies. I was stationed at Davis Monthan AFB (Tucson) in 1966-67 after Vietnam. I loaded those practice bombs and gun pods for these crews. At the time, we had 70-80 F-4's based there for weapons delivery training. It's nice to see this training. From DMAFB, the F-4 crews went to Vietnam. This bombing range was at Yuma, AZ.
Paul Searls - Good to see another 462 enjoying these historical films. I was behind you by a decade. Worked F-4Es at Hahn AB West Germany in the early 80s. Like you, cranked a lot of BDU-33s and MK-106s into SUU-21s!
No kidding. The Thud with a full bomb load was faster in mil power than a Phantom loaded for air to air. The Phantoms had to stay in zone 1-2 burner to keep up.
I don't see how anyone could learn to lay bombs on a target from watching this video. If you already knew. how, I could see this video being a refresh of the important things to monitor.
Holy cow what memories this evoked! Spent 6 years at GAFB from the 21st to the 562nd to the 561st. Cuddy, Superior Valley and Tonopah were all in the backyard I have no idea how many little blue bombs I dumped on those targets. Like riding a bike, could probably to it tomorrow 6 @ 6. LOL.
Lotta' chatter. These are practice runs, single bomb. Dropping a string, say of six, I sector bombed based on drift and always made sure pipper was short of shack. Kinda like bombing a runway at an angle rather than straight down the pipe to insure at least some cratering. I forget the actual formula for angle on runway. Also, in SEA and later years the F-4 had a Dive Toss system...never a big fan. Later, LGBs and Maverick. Loved the gun. Even had a 30mm pod that could be strapped on centerline. I suggested mounting it backwards and use it for added thrust.
This is really cool! I remember the Phantoms flying over my school when I was a kid in the 1970s and early 1980s in Las Vegas. I didn’t live far from Nellis AFB. Usually once a year, some Navy Phantoms would show up for a couple of weeks. I thought the Navy Phantoms were cool because of their grey paint scheme with colorful markings.
This material is phenomenal. I am very impressed with what USAF pilot training was like at that time. I'm from Poland, at that time we were on the other side of the barricade. Unfortunately, this is how World War II ended for us, we were in the USSR zone. This material is probably from the 1960s or 1970s. Today, over 50 years later, I can use this material in the DCS World simulator in the virtual F4E Phantom II: ruclips.net/video/A3uvo2Ohesg/видео.htmlsi=iNrhKGORRFxCLXa8 I wonder what the pilots from this movie would say today about the possibilities of home computers and simulations.
The desert bombing scenes appears to be the gunnery range just east of Cuddeback Dry Lake. Target 2 is the North target. Target 1 is the south target. They are still there and can be seen on google maps.
This presentation is reasonably accurate; however, contains a number of inaccuracies. Furthermore, it is useless in combat when there are no concentric circles around the target as on a traditional training range. If you wish to actually learn about this rather arcane subject,, find the fall 1971 issue of the USAF Fighter Weapons Review and study Initial Pipper Position written nearby 50 years ago. Another source is the book, "Fun Foolishness, and Frivolity Flying Fighters" by Alexander H.C. Harwick.
@Alex Harwick I was able to find a copy of your book on ebay. Do you have a digital copy of the fall 1971 issue of the USAF Fighter Weapons Review that I could see? I am an old F-4E Crew Chief.
If Tom Cruise decides to tell the story of Maverick's dad, Duke Mitchell in a Top Gun prequel, instruction films like this will become invaluable source material.
@@lscurtis9158 Was on P3D but I've moved on to MSFS. I'm a great real-world general aviation pilot. Every time I try an "authentic model" fighter jet, I'm reminded why it takes a lot of training to fly one properly.
They were accurate compared to what came before, when you needed to drop hundreds of bombs and hope a few hit the factory you were aiming for. They measured the CEP into which half the bombs feel in miles. And considered that pinpoint accuracy from the new high tech Norden sight (and to be fair, early RAF bombing missions frequently missed the entire city, and they only solved the problem by deciding that entire sectors of the city were fair targets and simply carpeted them with bombs assuming some would hit valuable targets and the ones that landed in residei areas were also okay, since they were "dehousing" workers - because obviously they would bet ever target the civilians themselves, just the houses).And that was on the test range. The problem was partly that they lost to many planes to radar guided AAA, and partly that the accuracy got worse when the pilots were being shot at. Collateral damage also became a consideration. The fact that many targets required a direct hit, which was not easy even with these systems. Mostly the desire to keep the number of sorties over highly defended and protected targets down. They still considered cluster and iron bombs the go to weapon with guided bombs and missiles being for special targets. right up to the second Iraq war, when civilian deaths became a major political liability, since the war was basically illegal to start with (pretty much exactly what we are condemning Putin for today). They used some guided weapons in the first war, but iron bombs were still the most common. Cheaper guided bombs and better, cheaper and more widespread laser designators allowed wider use, but the cheap and effective nature is the JDAM and the effectiveness of modern GPS really allowed them to use them widely.
Why not just make it easy? Approach your target straight on (preferably from a direction that’s not easy for the enemy to fire back) with a level flight angle and drop it like a bomber. Still observing rate of fall and wind direction. You would just drop a lot sooner than a bomber because of the low level flight and faster speed. Obviously you’d want to be far enough away when it explodes so a minimum needed altitude would need to be kept.
