Hi Guys,
I've been searching for pictures of F-16's with Durandals and/or Small Diameter Bombs, but I can't seem to find even one shot of it. So, please, could anyone post any picture of it ?
And secondly, how many Durandals and Small Diameter Bombs can be loaded on an F-16C and on which stations ?

Luckily, just moments ago, I found a pic of SDB's on F-16. Here is the link:-

I just wanted to know that how many could F-16 carry and on which stations. The picture answers it all. Any idea abt Durandals "Yakuza" ?

well, i think that durandals was mostly a F-111's ordnance in the USAF

so because that, pics of durandals in USAF F-16A/C should be scarce...

in others AF, where the F-16 was the premier aircraft, would be more easily to find some photos

here one of FAV F-16A:


and if you look a photo of a USAF F-111 with durandals:



is easily guess that the durandals has the same lug spacing an load commonality with a hi-drag mk82 because in both case are hanged in standard TER/MER like the mk82

so in a F-16, where and how many mk82 could be hanged, the same for the durandals

the F-16A/C generally could load 12 mk82 in 4 TER in stations 3,4,6,7, so that would be the max load of durandals in the viper

In theory the BRU-61 carriage rack can be carried anywhere a mk-84 or BLU-109 can be carried so figure a MAX load of 16 GBU-39s but more commonly 8 SDBS on the Viper. Now think about a BUFF or B-1 flying hundredes of SDBs!!!!
