<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>The A-10 carries AGM-65's on 3&9, that is it. The fact that 3-9 have MAU-40's means nothing. There is not a legal 65 config other than 3&9. So it is not that these are the only two stations usally loaded with 65's they are the only ones. Next the LAU-117 has 30" lugs just like the 88. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote> I am a weapons troop. If you read my post carefully you'll note that I didn't know about the wiring(I was trained on F-16s, and work backshop, so I've never until this week worked on the Hog itself, in phase), so I dealt with physical capacity. You couldn't <i>fire</i> all those, but for ferry purposes or some such, yes, you could if you found the job guide to load that config(which, as you stated, doesn't exist). The 117 has <i>holes</i> for 14" lugs, they are filled with RTV, so it would take some doing to get them in that config(I've been told by line F-16 troops that they load 118s on TERs for ferry purposes, you'd never fly missiles like that though). I never said we <i>did</i> any of this, but it is physically as far as lugs and racks are concerned, possible.

Now that I have info concerning wiring(hopefully from a reliable source), I can say that in real life the max would be six, operationally, four. The only way I can see getting ten would be two full 88s on 3 and 9, and 117s on 4,5,7, and 8. I do stand corrected on a few points, but most of it was stated as theoretical, so don't get worked up about it.
