fltsload Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 A video of the early BQM-34A and then the -34B. Demonstration flights flown by the 6514th Test Squadron of the AF Flight Test Center. The vehicle was flown using a nose TV camera. The missile was launched using a separate sensor display. The -34A launched the Maverick, Stubby HOBO in test flights. The early -34A lacked asymmetric flight capability thus during missile launch a weighted shape was dropped from the opposite wing. The later -34B included a laser designation nose and could fly without the weighted shape. It is shown launching a Maverick and a Shrike missile. These demonstration flights starting in 1972 showed the capability of defense suppression in a program called HAVE LEMON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
