Prop trainer design drops LGB

I think a 500lb PGM is a waste of time for this kind of aircraft but still an interesting picture.
For this type I would prefer Hellfires, laser-guided FFARs and guns.


During two weeks of testing in late September and earlier this month at the Barry M. Goldwater Range in Arizona, company pilots dropped four 500-pound GBU-12 Paveway II and four 250-pound GBU-58 Paveway II laser-guided bombs as well as practice munitions. All eight weapons scored hits on their intended targets, Hawker Beechcraft said. The AT-6 also performed .50-caliber machine gun testing against a towed target.
