Hi folks. I was curious what USAF Vipers are carrying for air to air and air to ground weaponry on a typical CAS mission over Afghanistan these days? I'm guessing GBU-12's are heavily used.

On a related note...if there is one area of the site I would like to see improved it would be more attention to loadout configurations with stores diagrams. There is an excellent website for the F-15E that does a great job illustrating the loadouts used on that particular aircraft in all of the recent conflicts the aircraft has been employed in. I would be thrilled to see something like this on f-16.net.

Very recent USAF loadout was 4 x GBU-54 (Laser JDAM) & 2x120s - just in case. 2x370gallon tanks and Sniper ATP too.

Hello all,

A common config out there is also two GBU-12s on a TER and two GBU-38s ( sometimes with DSU-33s ) on a BRU-54.

Cheers,

Henrik.
