Is it possible - both technically and practically (ground clearance?)

Would make an interesting loadout and make good use of the CL station Smile

I don't have a clue about the rack sizing, but to my knowledge there was no -1760 bus to STA 5 on Block 30's. Maybe the later blocks?

It's probably safe to say it's doable on at least the Block 60s and anything thereafter? There would seem to be pretty fair flexibility on said block's centerline station and even the inside wing points - as far as dropping goes.

On the BRU-61 and F-16, It was veritifed on the jet back in August of 2010 for use during OT&E. No talk on centerline use at this time. It would be real hard to load on the centerline with a tank installed. If the old guys remember loading a SUU-23 pod on f-4's was a task, doable at best but on the f-16 which is smaller it would be almost impossible.
