I might but it would be on a negative. And they are not in very good shape They have been packed in .50 cal cans up in the attic for years
The heat has destroyed a good many of them.

I'm trying to remember the tail for that Door Carl,

Thanks for those "MISGUIDED MAV" pic's I think those guys for awhile thought I was telling a "War story" about the AGM-65 being fired into the revitment wall back in GW1.
Proof now

I heard it was weapons using the TVM checklist.

Carl,

It was a reserve troop from the Cajuns and it was a com/nav troop doing the Mav seeker check-out.
Remember when CNN did that story "TIGERS IN THE SAND" in OCT 90 and the Wing/CC went to show the reporters the Tapes from his jet and "NOTHING!" the tape didnt work,then they tried another and it didnt work,so after that it was ordered that ALL MAV OPERATIONS WILL BE CHECKED AFTER LOADING AND DOUBLED CHECKED.
So they Had the COM/NAV troops checking them out.
This Reservist had never did an OP's Check on a REAL! AGM-65 before only TGM'S and APU ON,INVERTER ,FLIP MASTER ARM,FLAPS 7 AND SELECT MAV ,and the rest you know.

I was not even 300 yrs from that BABY WHEN IT LEFT THE RAIL!,we thought we were being attacked and all that White/Black/Blue smoke was a Chemical attack ROCKS AND SAND EVERYWHERE FLYING,NOISE WAS LOUD!,Plus the BOOM FROM THE ROCKET FIRING!.
Audie,Curly,ARD and MYSELF ran cover,Gus came and got us alittle while later to tell us what happened plus to go SIGHT SEEING,Audie took pic's since he had the only camera.

So that how I remember it going down,it was kept "HUSH HUSH" you wont even find it in any Saftey or mishap records,the only book I ever heard mention was the one for model detailing with the Barksdale jets on the cover.

That checks out with what I heard from F-12 beyond the Comm/Navguy doing it and not a weapons guy.

I was up at KKMC when it was fired. All we were told was that a mav had fired on the groung. Man we had 65s piled up all over the turn spots. Each spot always had around 10-12 opened up and just sitting in the dirt waiting for a empty rail. Not a grounging point for miles around. We(weapons)didnt even know the rest of you guys knew about the Armament Ground Safety Overide Switch
